Novamag for HR teams

Why Novamag for HR teams?

HR talks to people who have no access yet or never sit at a desk: new colleagues before their first day, applicants, staff in production and the warehouse. A digital magazine needs no login and no intranet. The welcome magazine goes out by link with the contract confirmation, the employee magazine by QR code on the notice board, and the careers issue shows teams on video. Surveys and forms collect feedback right inside the article.

Knowledge

Digital magazines for HR teams: what's behind it

The most important terms, figures and workflows, gathered on one page.

Why HR communication as a digital magazine?

HR reaches people without company access: new colleagues before they start, applicants, staff in production and the warehouse. A digital magazine needs neither an intranet nor a login. It opens by link or QR code on a private phone, shows teams on video, and collects feedback through a survey right inside the article.

How does a welcome magazine work for onboarding?

The issue arrives by link with the contract confirmation: a welcome from the management as video, the team in portraits, places and routines, a checklist for the first week, the people to ask. New colleagues start informed, and HR saves one-to-one conversations about the basics. The issue is duplicated per site or per team.

How does a digital magazine strengthen employer branding?

A careers issue shows culture rather than a job ad: teams, projects, people, benefits, with video and galleries. Every page has its own URL and gets found in Google, and the links sit in job ads and on LinkedIn. Applicants read before they apply.

How does the employee magazine reach everyone?

By QR code on the notice board, in the canteen, on the payslip, and by a link in employee apps. A password can protect the issue. Staff without a company email read on their private phone, in their own language thanks to Nova AI.

How does HR collect feedback?

Surveys, votes and forms sit right inside the article. Results appear in tracking, which works without cookies and without personal data and shows topics rather than people; that makes it easier to agree with the works council.

What does a digital magazine cost for HR?

Starter from 184 euros a month, Professional from 445 euros with team accounts and Tracking Premium, regardless of headcount. Printing onboarding folders and magazines falls away, and languages come as an add-on.
