The Employee Portal: the Human Resources intranet.
The intranets, fully integrated into the management of the companies, have the Employee Portal as the main access to the Human Resources area and as a great ally in internal communication.
Through said Employee Portal, the company saves costs in administrative time (in addition to savings in printing, paper and ink) and in turn supports communication between the company and employees, who have an effective tool to carry out documentation and workflow management.
In just a couple of clicks you have a large number of procedures at your disposal, which otherwise mean the use of time that could be allocated to more productive tasks. All managed by levels of permissions and access controls.
Let's look at it point by point:
- Employees can make arrangements and work requests whenever they want, from the place they choose and quickly. Access can be done from any device: mobile phone, tablet or computer.
- If you wish, you can download the payroll from the Employee Portal, as well as consult the history of your remuneration or the annual gross salary, achieving greater efficiency in document management of the department of Human Resources and the employee himself.
- We can also download the annual withholding certificate to file the Income Tax return or view and complete the data from the form 145, to calculate the appropriate personal income tax rate. your family situation.
- The management of vacations and absences is carried out through the Portal. Employees can make their requests and report their absences so that the Human Resources department receives a flow of requests that can be approved online quickly and efficiently.
- Management and information about the social benefits that employees can enjoy, individually personalized.
- From there you will have access to the e-learning area where the company can offer the employee a wide catalog of training.
- On the other hand, the Employee Portal is customizable with the company's corporate identity, which automatically identifies the employee with the corporate site.
- It contributes to the improvement of Internal Communication thanks to the immediacy and convenience offered by the messaging system, through which corporate messages can be published or private conversations can be held.
- You can consult the company's organization chart, which, thanks to comprehensive management, remains updated and up-to-date.
For all these reasons, the Employee Portal has become the virtual meeting space between employees and the company, where management and communication flow and support daily work, and represent savings in time and other resources.
In recent years, communication between company and employee has become one of the axes of business management in the areas of Human Resources, Marketing and Communication, due to the growing trend of teleworking and mobile workforces. This translates into employees who physically move from one work center to another, regularly or who work from their homes, so a means that allows them to connect with the company becomes necessary.
Having the Employee Portal allows the employee to remain connected and identified with the company wherever they are, being able to communicate with the Human Resources departments at any time and using their time in a way more productive. Nothing is easier than accessing it from the different devices that the company makes available to the employee, or from the employee's personal devices, through online connections.
The Human Resources department receives extra support in the organization of its document system, thanks to the efficient flow of requests that it receives immediately through the Portal. And you can also maintain conversations in real time or on a delayed basis with employees to resolve doubts and requirements.
The future of Human Resources systems involves the integration of the Employee Portal as a tool, not only for management, but also for communication and organization.
