Below is our recent interview with Devin Harris, Senior Marketing Manager at Vibe HCM:

Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to Vibe HCM?

A: Our specialty is creating easy-to-use HR technology that is meant to be used and valued by all employees. We have been doing this for over 20 years. We understand transactions, record keeping and the back-office. But it is about much more than that. It is about culture, connecting people, creating excitement, effective communications, efficiency, job satisfaction, world-class HR service delivery through technology. Vibe HCM is one unified platform that delivers the best of both worlds – HR Transactions / Compliance AND Strategic Employee Engagement.

Q: What are Progressive Web Apps?

A: Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are a new type of web application. PWA deliver a superior user experience on the web – they are faster, more reliable and work seamlessly on any device. PWA deliver the latest content and functionality whenever the user logs in, automatically adjusting the UI to optimize for the specific device and available screen size – desktop, mobile, tablet. PWA also support offline work.

Q: Do users need to download or install anything?

A: No! That is one of the great things about PWA; users don’t need to download an app or install anything. And even better, there is no need for ongoing updates or multiple page refreshes.

Q: What is the advantage of PWA vs responsive web design or native mobile apps?

A: 80% of Internet users consume content and applications via mobile devices. In reality, it’s not mobile first anymore but fast becoming only mobile. The mobile experience on responsive sites is still not great. It is slow, requires multiple page refreshes and can be spotty based on Internet coverage. Native apps are also not the answer given the high drop off rates resulting from the need to download specific apps and continually update. PWAs give you the best of both worlds: app-like capabilities without needing the app.

Q: How does PWA drive adoption?

A: According to Google, 53% of users will abandon a site if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load. PWA ensures high performance and widespread reach on any device, any location, no apps. Users don’t need to compromise functionality when away from their desktop.

Q: What do PWA mean for HCM applications?

A: An HCM Engagement Platform like Vibe HCM fosters widespread adoption with its compelling unification of engagement and HR functionality. However, if system access is not optimized for mobile devices and slow Internet coverage, these high adoption levels can suffer, impacting strategic initiatives and business value. This is where PWA is crucial, as it is device independent and is reliable regardless of network conditions.

Q: What are your plans for the future?

A: We know that Employee Engagement is the #1 challenge companies face world-wide, and traditional HCM platforms are not designed to address it, particularly for the mid-market. Our plans are to continue to innovate in this area to help companies address this challenge, as it is proven that increased employee engagement leads to an increase in all kinds of positive business outcomes.
