Employee App User Guide

Signing In

When you first open the app, you will see the Welcome screen with the Franciscan Health logo and a Sign In button at the bottom. Tap the Sign In button to log in with your
Franciscan Health credentials, the same account you use for Outlook and other work tools.

After signing in, you land on the Home Screen. This is your main dashboard and the central hub for everything in the app. At the top you will see a personalized greeting with your name and a Logout button in the upper right corner.

Tapping the More tile (the three dots icon) on the Home Screen opens the All Apps modal. This is a grid view that shows every app and tool available to you in FA Coworker. From here you can access any feature, even ones that are not currently showing in the quick access tiles on the Home Screen.

The apps available include FRANC, Podcasts, FranciscanVIP, People Directory, Everbridge360, Payroll Calendar, Workday, MyChart, MyTime, News & Media, and Prayer. Just like the quick access tiles, the grid order reflects which apps you have used most recently. Tap the X button in the top right corner to close the modal and return to the Home Screen.

Tapping the Workday tile opens the Workday dashboard directly inside the app. From here you can manage HR tasks, view requisitions, check pending items, and access all the Workday features you normally use.

The Workday screen includes a personalized greeting with the current date, an Awaiting Your Action section that shows any pending tasks, and a Your Top Apps section for quick access to tools like Requisitions. Tap the back arrow in the upper left to return to the FA Coworker Home Screen at any time.

The Payroll Calendar gives you a clean, easy to read calendar view of your pay schedule. It highlights important dates with color coding so you can quickly see when each pay period starts, when it ends, and when your pay day is.

The legend at the bottom of the calendar explains the color coding: yellow dots mark the pay period start date, pink/magenta dots mark the pay period end date, and green dots mark your actual pay day. You can navigate between months using the left and right arrows at the top

The Prayer tile takes you to the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration prayer page, where you can submit prayer requests and intentions.

The People Directory gives you a searchable directory of Franciscan Health employees. You can look up any coworker by name and find their job title, department, campus location, phone number, and email address.

At the top of the screen there is a search bar where you can type a name to find someone. The directory lists employees alphabetically, and each entry shows the person’s name, job code and title, company and campus, phone number (with extension if applicable), and email address.

The News & Media section gives you a dedicated view of all the public-facing news articles and media coverage related to Franciscan Health. This is separate from the Employee News section on the Home Screen.

Each article is displayed as a card with a large featured image, publication date, and headline. Tap on any article to read the full story.

FranciscanVIP stands for “Values in Practice” and it is the employee recognition platform. This is where you can recognize your coworkers for living out the Franciscan values and earn points.

The FranciscanVIP page shows your personal welcome with your name and current point balance. There is a “Nominate a Coworker” button at the top where you can submit recognition for someone who has gone above and beyond. You will also see the Franciscan Spirit Award banner and a Today’s Celebrations section that lists Service Anniversaries. You can tap “Send a Wish” next to any coworker’s name to congratulate them on their milestone.

The Podcasts section takes you to the official Franciscan Health podcast page. These short podcasts feature doctors and staff discussing a variety of health topics relevant to both employees and the community.

You can search for specific episodes by keyword, topic, or provider using the search filters at the top. Each podcast episode shows a thumbnail of the speaker, the episode title, and the featured speaker’s name and credentials. For each episode you have three options: Play to listen right away, Download to save it for later, or Transcript to read the content instead of listening.

When you tap on any Employee News card from the Home Screen, it opens the full article detail view. This screen shows the article’s featured image at the top, followed by the title, publication date, category tag, and the full article body. The articles support rich formatting including headings, paragraphs, bullet lists, and images.

You can scroll through the full article to read everything, and tap the back arrow in the upper left to return to the Home Screen when you are done.

The Directory tab in the bottom navigation bar is different from the People Directory in the All Apps menu. This tab opens the public Franciscan Health website where you can use the Provider Search tool to find healthcare providers, browse services, and access other community-facing resources.

At the bottom of the Home Screen you will find the app footer. It displays the copyright notice for Franciscan Alliance, Inc. and includes social media icons linking to the official Franciscan Health accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Tap any of these icons to visit the corresponding social media page.

When you are done using the app, you can log out by tapping the Logout button in the upper right corner of the Home Screen. The app will show a confirmation dialog asking “Are you sure you want to log out? Please confirm” with two options: Cancel and Confirm. This prevents accidental logouts.

Tap Confirm to log out and return to the Welcome/Sign In screen. Tap Cancel if you changed your mind and want to stay logged in
