These applications are completely free and can provide great productivity results if we know how to use them effectively in our company.

Without a doubt, using tools like Google, especially Google Forms, in a specific area of ​​the company can produce high levels of effectiveness and efficiency, through evaluations, questionnaires and surveys that are carried out on employees through the application.

The possibility of generating any type of form is very broad and the Human Resources area is one of the sectors in the company that can benefit the most from it. Among its uses, the following stand out:

Agile forms can be created that allow all kinds of information collected through surveys to be saved in a Google database and can be used by the Human Resources department to find out the opinion of employees about a mechanism implemented by the company or about those activities that are desired to be promoted to improve management.

The requesting Human Resources area can create a small form in Google where interested parties can go and complete the Form attaching their CV. At the same time, a meeting can be organised through Google Calendar, another of the applications that Google makes available to us.

In this way, the form will not only serve to accumulate information, but also to schedule work meetings and make the recruitment process much more accessible for future searches.

Forms can help you understand the climate of the organization. Using Google Forms add-ons, you can also generate impressive statistics that allow for more accurate analysis of the aspects being surveyed.
