Way back in the summer I posted our first about about building a tribe in your workplace.That was a short proclamation of what we are trying to do that doesn’t say a lot but we did have three key goals:
light weight,
easy to use,
and help you get employee information out of a spreadsheet onto something more portable.
It is important to us that we do that but that was focused more on the how. As we have spoken with people and started to get some feedback I think we have been a bit verbose with our vision (or at least it feels that way) so here it is in three simple points.
TribeHR’s main goals are to help you:
Evaluate the skills and experience you have in your organization.
Identify and develop the talent within your organization.
Create a knowledge base of best practices for items one and two above that can backed be up with examples.
We see an opportunity in the apparent divide in the management style that is commonplace and the people that are newer to the workplace. TribeHR is a part of a toolset and it will need to work with other tools in the future (we love APIs). Startups and small businesses are the ones that we believe experiment most with different management techniques and are more flexible which is why we have targeted them first.
What TribeHR isn’t: a tool that will use the Human Resources Buzz word dictionary. We want to make HR more friendly and focus less on terminology and more on the functionality that will have the highest return in order to achieve the goals we set.
I think this makes a bit more sense for us with regards to setting some goals and as we work towards version 1. There are some exciting possibilities that I can’t wait to realize!
Refining our vision as we go
