HR has always been about people. Supporting them, guiding them, helping them feel part of the organisation. But in today’s digital world, that job has become more complex. Employees are spread across locations, working remotely, and often switching multiple systems just to find information.
This is where the Hub in Workspace 365 can make a real difference. By placing communication, knowledge and connection in one central space, it gives HR professionals the tools to engage employees more effectively and strengthen culture.
Making onboarding simple and welcoming
For new employees, the first days and weeks are crucial. They’re trying to learn processes, meet colleagues and find their place in the organisation. Too often, that experience is overwhelming. Information is scattered, and they spend more time searching than learning.
The Hub changes that. Through the Knowledge base, HR can create a central library of policies, guides and FAQs that are always up to date. Instead of asking around or navigating complex file structures, new hires can find answers instantly.
Announcements help HR teams share welcome messages or highlight key information, while Events can be used to schedule introductions, training sessions or team activities. Together, these tools create a smoother onboarding experience where employees feel supported and informed from day one.
Keeping employees engaged and informed
Employee engagement isn’t just about satisfaction surveys. It’s about making sure people feel included, valued and connected to the organisation. With targeted Announcements, HR can make sure the right messages reach the right people, whether it’s company-wide updates or team-specific news. Because these updates live directly in the digital workplace, they become part of the flow of work, so employees don’t miss important information.
Communities give HR a powerful way to encourage collaboration and knowledge-sharing. From a wellbeing community to a group for professional development, these spaces allow employees to connect around shared topics and interests, building stronger bonds across departments and locations.
Building a stronger workplace culture
Culture is built through shared experiences, communication and recognition. The Hub helps HR professionals play a leading role in shaping that culture.
Events can be used not only for formal training but also for cultural moments such as celebrations or town halls. Registration and calendar integration make it easy for people to join, no matter where they work.
Communities add another layer by giving employees a place to share ideas, ask questions and connect beyond their own teams. They strengthen relationships and help people feel part of something bigger.
Small gestures also matter. With the Birthday app, HR can make sure those personal milestones aren’t overlooked. A simple recognition of someone’s birthday can go a long way in making people feel seen and appreciated.
The Address Book further supports culture by helping employees understand who their colleagues are, what roles they play and how to reach them. It’s a simple way to break down silos and encourage collaboration.
Bringing it all together
The Hub in Workspace 365 turns the digital workplace into a people-focused environment. It simplifies onboarding, strengthens engagement, and supports a positive culture. By combining essential HR communication tools in one space, it helps organisations ensure no one is left out, and everyone feels part of the journey.
In the end, it’s not just about technology. It’s about creating a workplace where employees feel connected, supported, and valued.
