Your team is launching a new self-service system that gives employees access to HR- and job-related tools they need, when they need them. But your launch strategy is missing one very important thing: how you’ll engage employees.
If you want people to log in and start using the system, sending an email with a link won’t cut it. With the launch of any new technology, you should have an internal communication plan that will help employees:
- Know what the tool is and where to find it
- Recognize the benefits (How does it help me?)
- Know how to get started and use the tool effectively
To ensure employees get these details, enlist support from all levels of the organization. Here are three ways to rally the troops and encourage employees to adopt your new HR system:
