Communication and knowledge
sharing
The purpose of a seafarer intranet is to provide
an IT infrastructure ensuring that the communication and knowledge
sharing between shore and vessel can flow effectively and that an
on-going and easy accessible competence development process can
take place.
The acknowledgement that the employees are the
most important asset for a company, naturally leads to focus on
internal communication and on communication of soft values to
engage the whole person. Employees of today want to feel involved
and significant for the company.
Meet the seafarer
requirements
A seafarer intranet will be a good tool in
meeting these requirements, as it can provide the seafarer with
relevant information and communication targeted directly towards
him, at the same time enabling the seafarer to see where the
company are heading through communication of the company's vision
and mission. A company intranet has furthermore shown to have
positive impact on job satisfaction and association with the
company.
A well prepared and organised seafarer intranet
is an important initiative in the overall HR strategy.
