How to use Honey for Human Resources

For Human Resources

Honey makes simplifying your company’s communication flow easy.

It’s a community newsfeed that increases

employee engagement, enhances company culture, and creates a more productive and innovative workforce.

Share and archive important information.

Create Honey topics for important information like HR policies, branding templates, benefits details, office maps, etc. Employees following these topics will be alerted of new posts, and the topic will become a social archive.

Ensure employees see important information.

Honey’s pinned post feature allows admins to pin important news to the top of every employee’s feed. Employees will see the pinned posts upon login. Pinned posts will remain pinned until the employee marks the post as read.

Let Honey write your weekly newsletter for you.

At the end of each week, Honey sends an important news email to all of your employees. These emails include all pinned posts, new additions to the Honey community, and new discussion topics.

Make important info super-easy to find.

Searching for an important file on a shared drive is a pain. Using Honey’s file upload and search features make it easy. We index the complete text of every file you upload. Employees will be able to find docs they need in no time.

Let your employees create a digital directory.

When first signing up for Honey, your employees will be prompted to fill out their profiles, including their photos, skills, interests, languages and more. Let your team build a searchable, digital directory for you.

Source employee talent and expertise.

Honey’s search crawls all of your employees’ profiles. This makes it easy to discover team members with specific skills, interests, work experience and language fluency.

Quantify and track employee engagement.

The Honey admin analytics dashboard helps you quantify, measure and track employee engagement. Plus, we’ll help you identify your most active, engaged team members. All your team’s data is exportable as a .csv file.

Create a read-only topic for official news.

Honey topics can easily be set to read-only in the settings menu. Only admins can post in read-only topics, making them great for official company news. Informed employees are your best brand advocates and talent recruiters!

Give employees a forum to ask for help.

Create an Ask the Team topic for your employees to post in when they’re facing a challenge. The community — including team members that might not usually interact — will quickly return creative, innovative, and helpful answers.

Onboard new team members.

An active Honey organization gives new team members the resources, community, and connections they need to feel at home right away. Encourage new hires to create their accounts on day one and start exploring!

Easily manage your team.

Your admin tool pages make it simple to manage your team and admin permissions. We’ve also built single sign-on features to integrate with the Google or Active Directory tools you’re already using.
