Introduction to Fairsail WX
Fairsail WX transforms the Collaboration Portal and extends the range of features it delivers to your
workforce:
• Your Fairsail processes - vacation and absence, objectives, performance review, and so on - are all
available, with simple access and use. Use process names that match your needs.
• Processes are grouped under Services
in the Navigation Bar - select to see
top level information on tiles, drill
down for more detail, add and edit as
required.
• If you run a team, team processes are
also immediately visible in the
Navigation Bar.

• People search is now an integral part of
the People Bar - the same powerful
search tool but with a new look and
feel.
• Contact information - including phone,
email, and IM - is immediately
accessible and linked, so tapping a
phone number on your mobile makes
the call, selecting an email address
opens an addressed mail.
• Switch the displayed language with the Language Selector
- available at the foot of the screen.

• A new Internal Communications process serving many purposes, including:
o
Integrating third party data feeds directly into WX, giving your workforce easy access to news feeds,
share price data, and more.
o
Building and displaying corporate notices for broadcast display, or for more targeted distribution.
o
Seeking feedback on specific issues with scoring, voting, or just confirmation that a notice has been
read.
• A new Recognition process delivering social performance management to your workforce, enabling all
Team Members to give positive and visible feedback to others.
• A new Summary process delivering top level information about upcoming birthdays and recent new
hires in your organization.
• An enhanced Manager Notes process, enabling you to create immediate informal notes that can build a
picture of performance over time, and contribute to a more formal review.
WX uses standard smartphone and tablet terms and ways of working, with the display responding to the
screen size you are using - mobile, tablet, or desktop - and retaining full functionality throughout. Existing
configuration processes are unaffected - your administrator and HR team continue to support Fairsail in the
same way.

Recognition
Recognition - also known as Shout Outs, Badging, Crowdsourced Performance Review - enables you to use
social performance management across your organization, giving all Team Members the ability to award
visible and immediate positive feedback to others.
Awards are given by you to another Team Member, in recognition of a particular achievement, task well
done, outstanding contribution to a team effort, and so on. You cannot use Recognition to award yourself.
