You can now choose to alert specific people whenever someone fails the health checkpoint requirements after booking a desk in the office. Once configured, we'll send a notification about the incident to the listed emails, so you can follow up with the right process to keep everyone safe.
Admins can configure the mailing list when setting up a health checkpoint via Manage > Integrations > Health Checkpoint > Email notifications.
Admins can now set required answers for health checkpoints, which prevents people from continuing unless they meet the requirements. When enabled, people who do not meet the requirements will be asked to stay home to keep everyone safe.
Admins can view the results of daily checkpoints via Manage > Access for reporting.
If you already have an active health checkpoint, you can edit it to set requirements going forward via Manage > Integrations > Health Checkpoints.
With a new focus on flexible work, an always-up-to-date office map is essential. Workplace teams need a clear view of who’s in the office when to understand the supply and demand of desks.
With abandoned desk protection, you can now keep more desks available when plans change by automatically releasing desks if nobody checks into the reservation. (Sound familiar? It’s a lot like our abandoned meeting protection).
Say goodbye to booked desks without people in them or messy office capacity data. Instead, get a historical and living record of what desks are actually in use and by who.
As an employee, if you reserve a desk but don't check in, you'll get a notification like this:

Office accessibility has never been easier. We expanded on our desk check-in feature so people can check into a desk right from Slack or Microsoft Teams.
For offices using desk check-ins, when an employee books a desk they’ll receive a check-in notification at the start of the confirmation window.
Then, they can check-in or release the desk reservation without having to leave the app they were just messaging a teammate from.
