The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the ways in which companies operate due to an increase in remote working. As a result of which managers need to find better ways to keep track of their employees. Honing on our partnership with Atlassian, Valiantys has developed a Crisis Management module for Jira Service Desk. Employees can log onto a portal to self-report their health status or seek help during an emergency. Managers can then respond and also review collective information with the help of dashboards. This can be deployed on free cloud instances and existing self-managed (Server) instances.

So what is our new Crisis Management App?

Key features include:

  • Seamless and configured customer portal for employees to fill in their information as required
  • Simple three step workflow and dynamic queues for easy crisis management for managers
  • Multi gadget dashboard to review all requests  emergency types, and requests assigned to line managers
  • A demo project has also been included in the configuration for clients to test and review dashboards

Employees self-report health status & request help

Pre-configured customer portal for your employees. They log onto a Jira Service Desk portal via the desktop/mobile browser to self-report their health status, ask a question relating to the crisis or seek help during an emergency.
