Human Resources

Human resources is all about establishing contacts and dealing directly with personnel, so videoconferencing is a perfect match. Following are just some of the areas in which videoconferencing is often used to expedite human resource procedures and tasks:

Recruitment/interviews: Recruiters are using videoconferencing extensively for interviewing job candidates for positions they need to fill in a hurry. Companies are setting up "on-the-spot" interview sites for candidates. Multiple people can watch and participate in the interview, so the candidate need not go through several separate interviews.

Training/education: Videoconferencing can save significant time, money, and resources when it comes to training new employees and providing continuing education to existing employees. Employees no longer need to travel to a special training facility or have the trainers travel to them. Training can even be provided off site from a remote location. Using multipoint conferencing, new employees can log in, meet one another, receive basic or extensive training, ask questions, and receive immediate feedback. This eliminates numerous people asking the same questions over and over and creates camaraderie among the participants. Industry studies have shown new employees learn and absorb more when using videoconferencing versus individual training because of shared ideas and engagement.

Benefits meetings: Many companies change their benefits packages, retirement options, and health insurance regularly. Videoconferencing enables human resources to present changes to every employee at every office location simultaneously and even field questions from employees who are confused about particular benefits and programs.

Performance reviews: With videoconferencing, management can deliver performance reviews to employees from remote locations. If necessary, several managers in different locations can meet as a group to deliver the review, even if the managers are in different locations.

Compliance communication: With today's government compliance issues, companies must communicate instantaneously if something changes. Videoconferencing is a much quicker, less costly scenario for today's human resource departments to "get a message out" to multiple locations simultaneously whether it be an update or completely new law.
