The Uses for Digital Signage in the Human Resources Industry
Digital signage is an instrumental technological tool that companies can use to help improve a wide range of their activities. From communicating vital information to employees to updating customers on upcoming promotions to advertising job openings and so much more, digital displays have become ingrained in pretty much every aspect of how we do business. Human Resources, in particular, can greatly benefit from successfully incorporating digital displays in their everyday usage to help improve their departmental operations.
Advertising Job Openings. Exhibiting job postings on digital displays that are strategically and conveniently located throughout your company premises is a great way to advertise new job postings, especially if you’re looking to hire internally before accepting external applications. Alerting existing employees to newly vacant positions is also a great way to boost employee and company morale because it gives valued employees a chance to progress within the company. Opportunities for upward mobility are highly revered in most industries where people are determined to build strong careers rather than simply work a dead-end job.
Human Resources departments can also use digital displays to ask for employee referrals, which have been proven to render high-quality candidate applications. Most employees aren’t willing to risk putting their professional reputations on the line for potential candidates that aren’t worthwhile, so you can typically trust the judgement of the people who already work for you.
Display Company and Industry Safety Standards. Safety standards education and training is an ongoing endeavour for every small or major corporation. But it can be expensive to constantly update and maintain comprehensive safety standards from printing new brochures and other materials to providing your employees with the most up-to-date information. Displaying company and industry safety standards on digital signage that’s easily accessible at their workstations is by far the most effective and cost-efficient way to go about it.
Digital displays can easily be updated as new information becomes available and you won’t have to hire someone to manually change out safety procedural signs or provide training sessions. Your employees can refer to the digital displays to find all of the pertinent safety information they require to aptly perform their jobs. If they have any further questions or concerns, you can include contact information at the bottom of the screen so they can ask the appropriate personnel.
This is especially important in loud and busy work environments where there are a lot of heavy machinery constantly operating and it can be hard or impossible for workers to hear safety announcements over the public announcement system.
