Virtualizing Human Resources

Have you migrated your HR group to "on-line" yet? What I mean is have you continued to build your HR information and content on the web or company intranet. So what does this really mean and what should or can go on-line:
  • benefits information
  • employee self-service data such as address changes
  • payroll information and electronic deposit receipts instead of paper
  • virtual meetings with managers and outliers/web conferencing
  • regulatory and compliance information
  • all-hands company meeting information
  • new hire orientation
The future of HR is going to be more on-line and web related information and conferences rather than expensive paper intensive information, travel, and compliance reporting. I would suspect that most large companies have already done this but I am specifically targeting the middle to small organizations that really are in the backwater of HR technology.
