March 2026 — Salary revision, pre-boarding and 1-on-1
Salary Revisions is live in Aboard, plus a new branded pre-boarding page, Co-pilot for employees/admins, richer profile attributes, pay transparency reporting, and more.
Salary Revisions
Say good bye to spreadsheets and time consuming administrative mountain of work. Salary Revisions are now available to help manage annual or mid-year salary reviews directly in Aboard. Easily organize employees into groups, assign reviewers and approvers, and apply new salaries when everything is signed off. Quick setup — Choose a template to auto-group by department, workplace, or manager — or set things up manually. Review & approval — Reviewers propose adjustments (amount or %); approvers approve or reject with feedback. Choose single or multi-approval per group. One-click apply — When all groups are approved, apply new salaries in one go with your chosen effective date. Notifications via email, Slack, and Teams. Multi-currency supported.
Pre-boarding branding
We’re rolling out improvements to the onboarding experience in Aboard, and we’re starting with a brand-new, customisable pre-boarding page. You can enable this update right now:
This new experience lets you showcase your company’s brand and culture before day one, allowing for a warmer welcome and clearer understanding of your organisation for the onboardee. Head to Company Settings → Onboarding to add a cover image and banner, and share key details about your organisation and workplaces.
The result is a more curated pre-boarding journey, giving onboardees relevant context based on the workplace they’ll be joining—before they even start.
Co-pilot
We’re excited to share that Co-pilot, your AI assistant for work, is now available for both employees and admins!
Co-pilot will help your employees get instant answers to their everyday questions. Ask about colleagues, check time off balances, and get information about company policies and documents—all through a simple chat interface right in the portal.
For admins, the Co-pilot will allow you to ask specific questions in the Analytics-module and narrow down insights further than ever before. It can also generate AI summaries from Performance Reviews, highlighting strengths and concerns when reviews are completed.
You can enable Co-pilot for your organization in your Company Settings.
Profile attribute improvements
We have now added several new options to profile attributes, giving you even more customization and possibilities to keep track of important data points for your organisation. The options now include:
Single select
Mulit select
Text (NEW)
Number (NEW)
Date (NEW)
Yes/No (NEW)
Additionally, you can now also choose to have profile attributes visible in the employee portal as well as letting employees review and update them.
Pay transparency report
We’ve launched a new Pay Transparency & Gender Gap report to help you understand pay distribution and support fair, informed compensation decisions.
The report gives you a clear overview of key gender pay gap insights across your organization, so you can identify patterns and take action where needed.
You can also export to CSV when you want to share the data or create more advanced groupings and analysis yourself.
Updated 1-on-1 experience
Through our new free-form editor, meeting agendas are now fully flexible allowing managers greater ownership over how their conversations are structured.
To ensure a clean and focused meeting experience, a dedicated sidebar has been added. There you will find Goals, Tasks, Private notes and the new Comments-option which enables managers and employees to communicate directly in the context of their 1-1:s.
We have also streamlined the create-meeting flow to make setting up a new 1-on-1 faster and more intuitive.
Performance reviews now exportable
You can now download performance review responses as a CSV directly from cycle insights. This allows for deeper calibration work with managers and leadership.
You’ll find this in the performance cycle insights view, where a new download option lets you export the same data you’re currently reviewing, including your active filters.
Other improvements include:
Daily digests that match your team’s time zone
Draft-saving forms
View Microsoft Word and Power Point files in Aboard

Department targeting and updated description editor for events
