How to complete the 'tasks'

A list of 'tasks' related to your new starter details will appear under 'Tasks Outstanding', on the left-hand side. Please also refer to further guidance below, before completing your details.

  1. Click on the first task to open it. Read the information displayed and click 'COMPLETE', to allow you to progress to the next task in the list.
  2. Work through each task, and review and enter the details (fully and accurately), as required. Make sure you click 'COMPLETE' at the bottom of each task's screen. Further guidance about diversity details is found on the HR Data Guide webpage.
  3. Repeat until the 'Tasks Outstanding' tab is clear and all the items have moved to the 'Tasks Completed' tab.

NB Some information may already be populated (either from your applicant record or where HR might have entered this on your behalf). In such cases, please review the details and update them, if needed.

Below are tips and additional guidance on completing and navigating through the tasks in Social Hub.

  • To view the full text within the fields in each 'task'/section, hover your cursor over the field.
