Module 2.1 - What types of channels and content are popular in Hubs?
INTRODUCTION
Not all IHUBApp employee portals are created equal. In order to be effective, it is important to understand what types of content and channels are popular among employees. In this lesson, we will cover the most popular types of content and channels found in employee portals.
LESSON
1. News and announcements
One of the most popular types of content in employee portals is news and announcements. This includes company-wide updates, changes to policies, and upcoming events. These types of content are best communicated through a main corporate communication channel. Typical channels include:
- Property Alerts
- Department News
- Company Announcements
The IHUBApp Automated email newsletter will automatically include the content posted in these channels in the weekly newsletter set out. No need to do anything but add your content to the IHUBApp.
2. Resources and information.
Another popular type of content in employee portals is resources and information. This includes things like company handbooks, benefits information, and training materials. These types of content are best housed in a dedicated resources section on the employee portal.
If this content doesn’t update regularly, we suggest creating a Page and then putting an update out to your employees when anything does change.
3. Communication tools
The IHUBApp Employee Hub has a number of communication tools including our message center. When you use this tool an email is automatically sent to your employee alerting them to the message.
Additionally, every post (and page) has the ability for your employees to leave comments and see one another responding in real-time, providing a forum discussion point on every topic you post!These tools allow employees to connect with their colleagues and collaborate on projects.
4. Integrating Self-service tools.
Self-service tools such as online forms and request portals are popular in employee portals. These tools allow employees to complete tasks such as requesting time off, reporting expenses, and updating their personal information.
5. Personalized content.
Personalized content such as performance metrics, training progress, and upcoming tasks is becoming increasingly popular and the tools available are as diverse as the companies that use them. Depending on your package you can either provide links to them within your Hub, OR, we can help you with integrating for a seamless experience.
6. Mobile access.
With more and more employees working remotely or on-the-go, mobile access to employee portals is becoming increasingly popular. This allows employees to access important information and complete tasks from their mobile devices.
The IHUBApp Employee Hub provides you with an easy mobile solution that employees carry with them anywhere.
