Polycom Solutions for Human Resources

The role of HR in today's business environment has changed. What was once a predominantly administrative function is now one that is more strategic and aligned with corporate goals and objectives

Many HR departments use Polycom collaboration solutions in all facets of HR policy administration – from the hiring process to training to employee communications.

HR professionals can now connect securely, with industry-leading high-definition quality video collaboration to anyone with a browser and web-camera. The RealPresence CloudAXIS Suite extends your organization's communications infrastructure so that HR professionals can reach interview candidates, partners, agencies without concern for firewalls and interoperability.

Ultimately benefiting the organization, by securing best talent, speeding up time-to-hire and delivering world-class talent development programs.

Staffing and Recruitment

Being able to speak face to face, without having candidates travel, can reduce costs, shorten the recruitment time, and increase the probability of hiring the best candidate for the role and the team.

Company Culture

Enhanced employee communications results in increased information sharing and improved productivity. In many cases, your employees’ work/life balance improves as salespeople and others can make customer calls from home rather than spend their life on the road.

Talent Development

Distance learning equips Talent Development and Corporate Training departments to offer a quality learning environment without geographic boundaries. Training classes delivered live and on-demand provide employees with new opportunities to develop functional and personal skills. And they do that through an interactive, engaging environment that reduces the losses in money, time, and productivity often associated with in-person classroom training.

With Polycom solutions for human resources, an organization can:

Enrich its overall corporate culture
Shorten and improve the hiring process
Minimize talent gaps and strengthen succession planning
Reinforce consistent practices and policies
Design and deploy a cost-effective and engaging talent development and training program
Strengthen the corporate culture of the organization

In addition, collaboration solutions enable departments, personnel, and hiring managers to discuss and share information in real-time instead of relying on e-mail or voice-only conferences.

In the area of training, regular sessions—whether on a new product, process, or skills—minimize talent gaps in the organization. And collaboration solutions can be used to disseminate HR policies and procedures to a widespread audience regardless of geographical location. Both the consistency and comprehension of policies and procedures improve company-wide.

By adopting video collaboration as a common practice, employees are able to spend less time away from their offices and families. This boosts employee morale, reduces the disruption that results from staff turnover, and ultimately increases productivity and effectiveness throughout the organization.
