Human Resources (HR) is a crucial component of any organization, playing a pivotal role in supporting employees, fostering a positive work environment, and ensuring the company's success. The HR department often gets a mixed reputation dealing with a range of business aspects; the good, the bad, and the ugly. This includes disciplinary actions, payroll, policy-making and management, and overall staff well-being and culture. This can make HR communications challenging, as companies struggle with the engagement and effectiveness of their messaging.
Animated video can make HR communications more interesting, streamline processes such as onboarding, procedure updates, and training, and improve employee engagement and retention.
