Has anyone tried adding a Slack channel for HR related announcements and inquires? i.e. policy additions/updates, handbook related questions and ideas, benefits and open enrollment items, etc. Bonus points for channel name ideas. Looking for pros and cons of doing this.

Yes. We use ServiceNow for our HR help desk.

I’m an HRBP and I have a channel in the Teams sites each of my client groups has. I call it People Initiatives and Activities.

like

I should be clear that my company has a shared services team so I’m not addressing tactical questions around pay, benefits, process, etc. My channel is dedicated to HRBP topics - I have a monthly to-dos columns, I post info about performance, promotion, and comp etc cycles. But part of it is getting my name out so people know who to reach out to when they have a problem. I may (often) kick them to our shared services because their questions don’t fall under my domain.

We've tried, people all too often turn off the notifications for this channel but it is still worth it so you can prove that you did provide updates and information when you are questioned by angry employees later. For names try: important: read these notifications

We use slack for this, but just post to an all company general channel. Otherwise I doubt anyone would take notice

We have it and it has come in handy. There are alot of people who really utilize it. I def agree with the comment above about turning notifications off.

We still use it. We regularly post there despite knowing that most employees turn their notifs off. But they cannot argue that they didn't receive any updates. Lol
