In the early ‘00s, the corporate Intranet became HR’s go-to platform for sharing resources and updates with employees. It’s internal, enables you to upload documents, and can encourage collaboration.
It’s 2015, and email, chat, text messages, cloud-based file storage/sharing, workflow management systems, and more have pushed the Intranet into obscurity – for everyone but HR!
Orbit Solutions can be used to consolidate methods of HR communication.
…what’s in it for me?
It’s easy. In a matter of moments, you’re able to manage and track any number of initiatives in Orbit.
If your CEO requests that everyone in the company read and sign off on a change to the employee handbook, achieving compliance could be be labor-intensive and time-consuming.
But in Orbit, you can make that task a checklist item, attach the document or form so no one has to go searching for a revised copy, and assign the task to everyone. In seconds, each of your employees will receive a notification, prompting them to read the handbook change and sign off/date electronically.
To see who has completed the tasks, you can watch your initiative in the Reports section of Orbit. If 80% of the people have acknowledged the change, send a reminder to the remaining 20%. In two days, you might send a reminder to the remaining 5%, and in a week, you’ll know who the stragglers are and you’ll be able to go after those people for compliance.
Bonus: On the days you don’t need to have employees review a handbook change, update enrollment forms, or add emergency contacts, Orbit has 100+ email notifications – triggers for work anniversaries, birthdays, expiring certifications etc. – to help you plan and track milestones in the company to improve retention.
