How we made it to the top

We recognise that HR is a major business function that should be at the forefront of an organisation’s decisions. After all, it is the area of business that ties everything together and has the greatest ability to improve people-driven performance outcomes. But in the background, the way the function is managed has remained very traditional and most of the time unchanged for the past few decades.

Thankfully, new HRIS technology like EmployeeConnect, thrive to provide a fresh approach that places HR at the centre stage of business. We believe that providing informational and useful content is the best way to support that approach.

We have been consistent in publishing 4-5 quality posts each week, from HOW-TOs to opinions pieces, we aim to
provide insightful and thoughtful content to help the HR community in a practical way. Our readership has grown and spread, and we’re glad to witness the enthusiasm and engagement that surrounds the EmployeeConnect blog. Culture, engagement, performance, HR transformation and technology are only some of the topics we cover. We believe that a varied editorial calendar is necessary to represent the breadth and diversity of challenges HR is confronted to.

Providing new perspectives is our way to bring value to the table. We look forward to continuing to offer one of the best HR blog out there with the aim of becoming even bigger and better. Next stop: Top 10!
