One of the main disadvantages of being an HR manager is the tiring and time-consuming repetition both in individual communication – for example, with applicants, and when working with groups of employees.
The need to repeat the same thing over and over again makes it difficult to focus on the creative component of personnel management – the analysis of the abilities and capabilities of potential or existing employees. And this, in turn, harms the company as a whole.
An excellent way out of this repetition is the use of presentations. Take, for example, work with applicants. It is enough to prepare a story about the company and the requirements for a position once – and the problem, it would seem, is solved. Or, let’s say, an HR manager needs to convey to their colleagues the essence of changes in a company’s policy. By sending out the appropriate presentation, you can close this issue with minimal time and effort spent.
One problem is that the vast majority of existing online presentation formats are uncomfortable in terms of direct communication. And this is the most important tool for the work of any HR manager.
From this point of view, the online presentation service Pitch Avatar is the best tool.
Which of its features are especially useful for an HR manager?
First of all, the feedback system. As soon as someone starts watching the presentation, HR receives a message about this and can inform the visitor about their desire to connect. You can communicate in video or audio mode, and in text chat. The settings allow you to enable the ‘call presenter’ function. In other words, an employee or applicant who is getting acquainted with the presentation can inform HR about their desire to communicate, ask questions, etc.
HR has the ability to embed the URLs of the pages to which they would like to draw special attention to during the presentation. In this case, the user will be able to study them in a frame, without leaving the presentation. For example, these can be pages with educational tasks or examples of real tasks facing the company, thanks to which you can test the applicant or employee’s knowledge. In addition, once there is a real-time feedback system, tasks to check the level of the applicant’s preparation can be placed in the presentation itself and answers can be given in a text chat.
Particular attention should be paid to the special function of the FAQ section – linking frequently asked questions to specific slides and a text answer in the chat. Thanks to this, an employee who has received a link to a training presentation also receives a kind of ‘cheat sheet’, which they can use in the course of their work until they have mastered the new material confidently.
Of course, these are not all the features of Pitch Avatar. Learn more about how to create and customize a presentation. If you have any additional questions, we will be happy to answer them.
