# EmployeeWorks capabilities

You can access essential workplace tools and information through EmployeeWorks capabilities. Use **Tasks and requests**, **Canvas**, notifications, org chart, profile, communication tools, and calendar to manage your daily work tasks.

You can access all your essential work tools from one location.

## Tasks and requests

You can view and manage all your work items such as tasks, approvals, and notifications from across systems.

Access pending requests, review items that need your attention, and track the status of your submitted requests without switching between different applications. For more information, see [Tasks and requests](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/emp-slate-inbox.md).

## Canvas

You can create personalized dashboard views with widgets that display the information most relevant to your role. The **Canvas** adapts to your workflow and priorities.

Customize your workspace with widgets for quick access to frequently used tools, recent documents, team updates, and key performance indicators. For more information, see [Personalized canvas](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/eslate-personalized-canvas.md).

## Notifications

You can stay informed about important updates through the integrated notification system. Notifications appear in real time and provide context for immediate action.

Receive alerts for new assignments, approval requests, system updates, and team communications directly within your interface. For more information, see [EmployeeWorks notifications](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/emp-slate-notifications.md).

## Org chart

You can explore your organization structure and find contact information for colleagues across departments. The org chart provides visual representation of reporting relationships.

Search for team members, view reporting hierarchies, and access contact details to facilitate collaboration and communication within your organization. For more information, see [Employee org chart](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/emp-slate-orgchart.md).

## Profile

You can manage your personal information, preferences, and settings from your profile. The profile centralizes your workplace identity and configuration options.

Update contact information, set notification preferences, configure language settings, and manage your personal workspace customizations. For more information, see [Employee profile](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/emp-slate-employee-profile.md).

## Communication

You can access integrated communication tools to connect with colleagues and teams. The communication features support both formal and informal workplace interactions.

Send messages, participate in team discussions, share updates, and collaborate on projects using the built-in communication capabilities. For more information, see [Employee communications](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/eslate-employee-comms.md).

## Calendar

You can view and manage your schedule through the integrated calendar functionality. The calendar synchronizes with scheduling systems of your organization.

Check upcoming meetings, schedule appointments, view team availability, and manage your time effectively without leaving the environment. For more information, see [Calendar and schedule management](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/employee-experience-foundation/eslate-calendar-schedule.md).
