New HR Portal delivers a single point of access to people related information and activities

epad integrates HR systems to maximise investment and improve employee communication

Providing employees with a single point of access to all people related activities and information, talent management expert Qikker Solutions Ltd has launched epad (Employee Personal Activity Dashboard). epad is a new people portal that enables organisations to reach employees, managers, HR staff and executives every day around the globe in order to increase staff engagement and productivity.

Operating as an extension of an organisation intranet, epad puts employees in control of every aspect of their day-to-day work activities; whether it be staying abreast of organisation initiatives, seeking advice and collaboration from internal experts, completing an annual appraisal, organising time off, or applying for a new internal position.

As well as greater employee productivity, epad helps reduce cost by maximising and protecting existing HR technology investments. Many organisations operate with a variety of HR systems or paper based processes. epad provides a ëjoined-upí HR approach by managing all of an organisationís people based activities through the integration of related technology such as performance management, recruitment or compensation systems.

HR communications is a vital element of increased employee engagement. epad offers a communication and information-sharing tool to help inform and encourage team working and collaboration. It provides an important internal communication channel that keeps staff informed of news to nurture a sense of involvement, ensures that any required ëpeople processí activity is completed, pushes key information to staff in order to ensure compliance, senses staff engagement through quick surveys and provides timely guidance and support on policies. This is built to complement existing intranets and to be consistent with internal branding.

ìepad increases the business value delivered by HR, provides a complementary internal communication channel in line with organisational objectives and people policies, and enhances HR systems without burdening internal IT resources,î says Mark Barlow, managing director of Qikker. ìepad has complete flexibility to address companies differing needs and transforms how HR is delivered throughout an organisation.î
