They also regularly take on employee relations, payroll, benefits, and training. Further, Human Resource managers plan, direct and coordinate administrative functions and act as a middleman between employee and management. The department is a hub for basic company information and can be inundated with many requests from employees. If this is the past of your business that you are struggling with, maybe the implementation of software that offers solutions such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enowsoftware.com\/products\/compass-active-directory-management\">active directory reporting<\/a>, this might help with managing and monitoring operations. As we all know how tough it can be sometimes to run a business, anything you can do to make it easier could be worth it. <\/p>\n<p>  That&#8217;s a lot of information.  <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A company intranet helps manage and organize the flow of information through the Human Resource department and the rest of the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Easy to Find Contact Details<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intranets can derive their key Human Resource information from an active directory, allowing employees to look up contact details. Employees can confidently and efficiently do a search on the company&#8217;s intranet rather than hunting through old emails or asking a coworker or HR for contact details. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Create a Central Hub for Human Resource Topics:<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"ili-indent\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Company policies<\/span>\n<ul class=\"ili-indent\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transparently share company policies for faster onboarding of new employees.

Congratulate workers on company milestones and wish happy birthday. Highlighting these achievements and celebrations encourage and validate the employees that make up the organization. (Individuals who do not want their birthdays or other milestones public can opt out of sharing those dates on the calendar.)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spotlight each employee<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give every employee one day of fame on the intranet by featuring them on the home page.

Share this information on an intranet to stay organized rather than sending the job postings in an email or company newsletter. Once you&#8217;ve checked candidates CV&#8217;s over, you may want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.berkeassessment.com\/solutions\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">check out this assessment from Berke<\/a> and ask candidates to take part in it.

Each employee brings her combined strengths to tasks and projects to help one another. Instead of scheduling a meeting and waiting for an available time, or emailing several people with questions, employees turn to a group that already exists. A transparent collaborative group setting allows employees to find the best solution to their issue and is part of the future of work. Collaborative groups benefit employees working on time sensitive tasks, and many companies we work with found that employees are happy to help each other, especially in an efficient way.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Human resources are amplified through the power of social collaboration.
