In the process of continuously improving our product and its features, OrangeHRM has introduced the Request Desk module to provide an efficient work environment for our customers. In a typical work environment, an employee may need to request different departments for different requirements. May that be an employment letter from the HR Department or an equipment upgrade from the IT department, these requests will be hectic to manage and keep track of. In order to mitigate the hassle, the OrangeHRM Request Desk module offers employees to create different requests to different entities in your organization to get their requirements facilitated; where every conversation will be held on record, every request would be kept in track and efficiently managed by relevant parties.
