It can replace employee newsletters, and since you can update the portal whenever there&#8217;s something new to tell your team, it helps them stay informed more quickly and easily.<\/p>\n<p>An employee portal also helps your HR department to empower staff members to self-serve when they have questions or need to update their details. Portals usually have the tools for allowing individuals to <strong>make holiday requests,<\/strong> find out what their <strong>key performance indicators<\/strong> are before their next appraisal and also give <strong>employee feedback,<\/strong> which can in turn help create a positive company culture as your teams feel like they&#8217;re listened to.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is an Employee Portal Important for Business Success?<\/h2>\n<h3>Improves HR operations<\/h3>\n<p>Using an employee portal helps free up HR managers&#8217; time to spend on more <strong>value-adding tasks<\/strong> for the business. Instead of having to spend time every month collating each department&#8217;s updates, management can update the portal with the <strong>latest relevant information themselves<\/strong> whenever there&#8217;s something new to inform people about.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, it can give employees the tools they need to <strong>complete requests<\/strong> or <strong>access documentation themselves,<\/strong> like annual leave, expenses and contracts. This leaves HR teams with more time to focus on tasks like <strong>recruitment and onboarding<\/strong> that will help your business succeed in the long term.<\/p>\n<h3>Provides a better employee experience<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.surferseo.art\/e54235a9-e13b-44ec-bf85-227b71b35ce2.jpeg\" alt=\"man sitting at a desk with laptop and notebook working on internal communication strategy\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As technology has improved in employees&#8217; daily lives, they have (understandably) started to expect to use <strong>new technologies <\/strong>at work to make their experiences better. Teams know that there are channels out there to help companies <strong>effectively communicate<\/strong> with them, and now<strong> expect businesses to implement internal communications initiatives<\/strong> that make use of this new technology.<\/p>\n<p>Using a portal to communicate with your team is only going to <strong>improve their experience;<\/strong> it&#8217;s an <strong>effective communication tool<\/strong> that helps employees understand what&#8217;s happening within the organisation and how they can help the company achieve their wider goals.<\/p>\n<h3>Helps increase employee engagement<\/h3>\n<p>An employee portal makes it <strong>easy for teams to access company information,<\/strong> <strong>view their objectives, <\/strong>take advantage of any <strong>support documents<\/strong> you&#8217;ve made available (like <strong>wellbeing in the workplace resources<\/strong>) and give feedback. A good portal<strong> isn&#8217;t a one-way communication tool;<\/strong> a great internal comms strategy <strong>gives employees the opportunity<\/strong> to have their say, too.<\/p>\n<p>Using a tool like this can <strong>increase employee engagement<\/strong> as staff know where to go to find out about what&#8217;s going on in the organisation. If they know that it&#8217;s <strong>easy to engage <\/strong>with the leaders of your company and the wider business, they&#8217;re more likely to do so &#8211; and will therefore <strong>feel more valued.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Who is Responsible for Managing Internal Employee Communications?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a few people that have a role in managing internal communications. An effective internal communications strategy involves <strong>all parts of the organisation,<\/strong> from <strong>key stakeholders<\/strong> to the <strong>newest members of the team,<\/strong> but management and HR should take the lead in implementing a strategy that works for your company culture.<\/p>\n<h3>HR managers<\/h3>\n<p>HR managers should <strong>take the lead<\/strong> in facilitating internal communications and creating a good strategy. They can use an employee portal to <strong>schedule activities, celebrate milestones<\/strong> and help <strong>track employee performance.<\/strong> HR managers can also <strong>coach leaders<\/strong> on the best way to deliver their messages to their teams and the wider business.<\/p>\n<h3>The leadership team<\/h3>\n<p>The leadership team, especially senior managers, should ensure that they <strong>support the business&#8217; internal communications strategy.<\/strong> When top leaders in a company don&#8217;t engage with internal communications, it&#8217;s <strong>easy for them to fail.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Managers should ensure that they harness the portal to<strong> give employees updates<\/strong> on the company&#8217;s performance at regular intervals. For example, sending <strong>weekly posts<\/strong> about how each team has met their KPIs helps <strong>create transparency,<\/strong> as well as demonstrating how each team is working towards the <strong>same goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>How to Use an Employee Portal to Streamline Internal Communications<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no need to create that lengthy monthly newsletter anymore. Here are just some of the ways you can use an employee portal to streamline your internal communications:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post company updates:<\/strong> Use the portal to update your people on how the organisation is performing against its short- and long-term goals. Got a new project that might impact the wider business? Let everyone know, and offer teams the chance to speak to the project manager face-to-face if they have questions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Celebrate milestones:<\/strong> Work anniversary coming up? Someone&#8217;s birthday? The employee portal is a great place to leave messages of congratulations and ensure that no one&#8217;s ever left out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Training and development:<\/strong> Add learning and development opportunities for employees to take advantage of. A bit of gamification, like adding quizzes or online games to training courses, can help improve the employee experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Employee recognition: <\/strong>Has someone in your team worked hard to achieve a goal or gone above and beyond to help their colleagues? Use the portal to give shout-outs and thank employees for their hard work.<\/p>\n<h2>Employee Portal With Factorial<\/h2>\n<p>Factorial&#8217;s employee portal empowers teams to manage their time, tasks and performance and stay in the know about what&#8217;s going on in your organisation.
