Abstract
In 1994, Hewlett-Packard undertook to
transform their human resources, compensation and benefits operations,
and employee communications. Seeking to "deliver world class human
resources solutions, any time, any place," an Intranet became an
obvious choice as a delivery and access vehicle. As a result, HP not only
reshaped their internal business practices, but has enhanced the
services they were offering. In this seminar, Rick Schwartz, a leader
in the on-going development of paperless Human Resources solutions,
will give his perspective on applying Web-based or Intranet technology
to communicate benefits to employees, and to improve the effectiveness of
HP managers in areas relating to people management. He will demonstrate
the HR applications that enable the staffing, pension, compensation,
benefits, and training departments to deliver better service at less
cost.
