Human Resources

Skilled workers are becoming increasingly critical to the success of a business. B-Webs can be used to make the workplace more productive, to support the search and attracting of quality employees, and to manage their employment.

Work Anywhere, Anytime -- The Internet is changing the workplace, enabling employees to work outside the traditional office or central location settings. Instead of being bound to the office, employees take the office with them. This new flexibility has profound implications for productivity by significantly reducing the mechanical factors that lower efficiency. For example, unnecessary travel is eliminated saving valuable work time. Response times between employees and with customers can be significantly reduced. In addition, by enabling employees to be more efficient with their time, employees enjoy higher energy levels and greater job satisfaction.

Training --B-Webs enable training to be integrated into the workplace. Instead of employees being absent from their job while undergoing training, employees can realise more effective training experiences while actually performing job tasks. An enormous investment in this type of training [called EPSS, "Electronic Performance Support Systems"] has been made in America and in Europe. Employees get better training and businesses significantly reduce training costs.

Employee Search & Management -- The same B-Web system infrastructure that supports prospects/customers can also be adapted to support employee search and management. Potential employees found over the Internet or by traditional means are immediately given a website portal that will provide a channel for building a relationship. The portal can support the courting of the employee, negotiations, employment consummation, and employee management.
