AStaff wait for a representative to make changes
BStaff must submit changes in printed form
CStaff log on and update their own information
DStaff send changes by post to the head office
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Staff log on and update their own information
1. Without an intranet, employees must contact a representative to change personnel records or plan contributions.
2. With one, staff members simply log on to the intranet and update the information themselves.
3. Managers can also process staffing updates, performance reviews, and incentive payments without filing paperwork.
4. Shifting routine administrative tasks to the intranet frees staff for more substantive projects.
