Social networks have revolutionized the way we communicate and collaborate at work. More and more companies are turning to internal portals to help their employees keep up to date on important aspects of the organization and to encourage collaborative work. It is an interesting way to understand and promote communication, favoring at the same time such important aspects, such as innovation, motivation, or employee involvement.
2. The most advanced human resource
management software generally include
integrated social portals among their
functionalities, so that employees can
access all the information they need.
3. Welcome pack
Putting the Welcome Packs in the
HR portal will allow employees to
notice some details that may have
gone unnoticed and, of course, will
be a practical reminder so that they
do not forget certain things to keep
in mind and that have to do with
basic issues such as rights and
obligations, quality policies, clothing
standards, schedules, etc.
4. For example, the Portal can publish the
Policy for Management of Leave,
Vacations and Other Absences or the
Work Safety Manual, or the Complaint
Measures for employees. The corporate
code of ethics could also be published, or
the rules of use of the Internet and Social
Networks in the office
Politics and procedures
The Human Resources Portal can become
a true repository where you can host and
share important company documents
5. Who is who
If the human resources software
your company uses does not
allow to automatically generate
updated organization charts, or a
list of featured contacts, you may
consider doing so through your
human resources portal with
complete directories that include
photos and personal information,
roles , tasks and contact details.
6. NEW EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING
Corporate values
The human resources portal is an
appropriate place to publish those
corporate values that you consider
important to highlight, making them more
visible and reinforcing the most exemplary
behaviors.
7. What's New
NEW EMPLOYEE ONBOARDING
You can keep everyone informed
about company news in the
“news” section of your portal.
From there, you could share all
kinds of news related to the
human resources environment
such as promotions, awards and
recognitions for staff or changes
in the social benefits package,
8. Internal promotion
positions
Before you spend a fortune finding
new candidates to fill emerging
vacancies in your organization, make
sure you don't have the skills you're
looking for in front of you. Post job
offers on the portal.
9. The human resources portal is also a
very useful means of promoting your
commitment to corporate social
responsibility. You can share your
company policy on recycling, for
example, or on energy saving, or
encourage your employees to create
a working group that encourages the
search for new ways of operating
less polluting.
Social responsibility
10. Leisure activities
and free time
In the human resources portal
there should also be room for news
related to leisure. For example,
news about company parties,
corporate outings or meetings, and
other local events could be
published.
11. Helpful Links
Most companies use third-party providers to
provide certain services. For example, medical
services, agreements with a gym or discounts
for purchases in certain establishments.
Publishing links to these services on the
human resources portal can also be very
useful because employees often forget that
they have the right to this type of service or
the procedures to follow to access them.
12. Frequent questions
There are many recurring HR
management issues that can be
entered into the HR portal for
everyone to have at hand. A list of
frequently asked questions can be
compiled and published on the portal,
updating it whenever necessary. Or, a
more interactive feature could be
developed to encourage employees to
submit their questions via chat to
facilitate more fluid communication.
