Not sure but would you try creating an index on:
res_users.res_employee_id

Also the planner's estimate for table:res_users is off by 1300x..so you should
probably vacuum analyze it then recheck.  I don't think we know what version
postgres you have, but last week's patch releases include a fix which may be
relevant (reltuples including dead tuples).

Also I don't know the definition of this table or its indices:
tms_workflow_history

..but it looks like an additional or modified index or maybe clustering the
table on existing index might help (active? is_final_approver?)
Or maybe this should be 3 separate indices rather than composite index?
Perhaps some of those could be BRIN indices, depending on postgres version
