Employers often have a limited view of what employees are actually doing as job descriptions and performance reviews don't always accurately depict employees' knowledge and contributions across the organization. With Point, organizations can increase knowledge and insight through the use of social collaboration and learning. Employees identify centers of influence by contributor, content and topic. As a result, organizations create a self-motivating culture where employees can be identified and recognized for their influence and recognize others for their contributions.
"HR has struggled to understand how knowledge and information flows across the organization," said Lisa Rowan, Program Director for HR, Learning, and Talent Management Strategies, IDC. "With Point, organizations now have the ability to reveal not only the connections between their employees but the meaning behind them and how it impacts the company. Point enables companies to share goals, inspire innovation, and increase efficiency to drive organizational change and success."
Features include:
- Increase collaboration and connections to share links, files, questions, photos, polls, announcements and feedback across the organization.
- Connect people with like interests by creating Groups. Groups can be used to align a team around a particular topic or set of goals encouraging knowledge sharing and collaboration.
