HR's struggle with Web 2.0
This article seem to have been written keeping my workplace in mind. To add to it - we are a Web 2.0 technology company and 80% of our employees are engineers. Still, we are not a tech savvy company when it comes to HR.
We have planned a few projects in past to better facilitate the documentation process and information sharing for HR, however, it never materialized. After joining this class, I spoke with my manager about how using technology will save us cost (less paper & work hours) and improve the whole system. We are still storing every document in paper form in employee folders.
When employees or managers ask for a piece of information from these folders, HR is unable to respond back quickly. When we join all dots, we see how technology can benefit us.
On the other hand, technology is not the answer to any question. We need to use the technology & tools available to find the perfect solution. There are so many social networking sites mushrooming all over the internet and some of them are extremely successful. We need to learn from their models and learn to use our technology better.

thanks for your thoughts sapna! it is interesting that even in a technology company like yours, it's difficult to implement sound technologies to solve internal business issues.
