How To Build An Employee Portal
Summary
) Lupanova explains that it may not be possible to achieve all goals at the outset, which is why you may opt to launch a portal that covers essential needs first, and then extend it with additional features later. Tyler Butler, CEO of 11Eleven Consulting, says you should gather stakeholders throughout your organisation to consider varying perspectives on what needs should be addressed with your employee portal. “Your discussions should surround elements such as structure, accessibility, and content.” To understand how this resource will help employees, Agata Staszak, chief of staff at Espeo Software, says you can use a survey to identify their needs and ask about preferred features. If they aren’t able to find what they need, they’ll be forced to spend too much time searching or recreate whatever resource they were looking for—either case would have a negative impact on their productivity and potentially on client deliverables. Butler says you can have leaders and employees alike contribute content, whether what they publish is meant for their specific departments or the entire organisation.
