Think of an Intranet as a personal, virtual HR assistant, one that
provides a private Internet, focused on your company and its employees. Its a secure, central location where
Management can keep employees up-to-date on the latest company news.
Employees can tap into benefit information, schedule meetings, access podcasts and business training, download
internal documents, or exchange IM with colleagues.
HR can provide online access to forms, total compensation statements, employee handbooks, and policy information.
Management presents a consistent and uniform source of information, conveys the most accurate statement of
compensation, and saves money.
Employees spend fewer hours hunting for information. They have access to a central location for information on
compensation, employee handbook, staff directory, business news, instant messaging, and company news.
HR staff spends less time answering questions that the HR Intranet can answer, and spends more time on strategic
issues.
Introduce Web 2.0 Features to Your Employees
Today's technologies introduce new levels of self service:
Instant Messaging: Employees can chat with colleagues for a quick answer to a critical question, or
arrange an impromptu staff meeting.
RSS Feeds: Use Really Simply Syndication technologies to deliver up-to-the-minute business news feeds. Best of all, these RSS Feeds can be personalized so employees receive only news that interests them.
Podcasts: Link employees to your company's podcasts, or publicly available audio and video podcasts.
Weather and Traffic Widgets: Widgets are small applications that permit us to use publicly available
services in an HR Intranet. Need to know what the traffic is like before your next client meeting? Login to the HR
Intranet and take a look at the traffic and weather in your local area.
