KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
Give employees instant, cited answers and HR in-case policy guidance. Keep your existing HR knowledge current and governed, without rebuilding your knowledge estate.

Why HR knowledge needs to change
HR knowledge is often scattered, unclear or outdated. Applaud turns what you already have into trusted answers for employees and practical guidance for HR.
The traditional approach
The Applaud way
Give employees immediate, cited answers from approved HR knowledge before they need to contact HR. Fewer repetitive questions reach the service team, leaving more capacity for work that needs a person.
Put policy guidance directly into the case. HR can ask AI about the employee's situation and the policies behind it, reducing time spent searching and helping teams respond more consistently.
Ground AI in approved HR knowledge and show the sources it used. Country, audience and employee context help surface what applies — with the underlying policy always available to check.
Give knowledge clear owners, controlled approvals and review cycles. Revalidate what's still right, revise what has changed and retire content that is no longer safe to serve.
Let employees ask questions and read knowledge in the language they are comfortable using, even when the approved source was created in another language.
Understand what people search for, which knowledge they use, what answers resolve demand and where employees still need HR. Use those signals to improve coverage and increase self-service over time.
CORE CAPABILITIES
Connect SharePoint and ServiceNow, or upload directly to Applaud. Keep content synchronised and AI-ready without rebuilding your knowledge estate.
Upload documents, images, audio or video and let Applaud understand what is inside. AI extracts and enriches the content, summarises it, identifies its context and prepares it for accurate search and answers.
Employees ask in everyday language and get clear answers from approved HR knowledge, with citations to the source. They can read the underlying policy or continue the conversation with AI.
Give HR relevant, cited policy guidance without leaving the case. AI uses the employee's situation to help teams find answers faster and handle similar cases more consistently.
Use country, role and work situation to surface relevant guidance. Personalised suggestions help employees discover useful support before they know what to ask.
Keep knowledge current with clear owners, AI-guided approvals, version history and risk-based reviews. Revalidate what's right, revise what's changed and retire outdated content.
See what employees search for, which answers help and where they still turn to HR. Identify knowledge gaps and improve content to reduce repetitive demand.
WHY CHANGE?
Stale knowledge undermines AI answers and adds work for HR. Applaud puts existing knowledge to work, helping employees get trusted answers and HR handle cases faster.
If the answer already exists in a policy, employees should not have to raise a case to get it. Put trusted answers at the point of need and keep HR capacity for work that needs judgement and empathy.
Generic answers are not enough for HR. Ground AI in approved company knowledge, apply the right context and show the source behind the answer.
A policy can look authoritative long after it should have been reviewed. Ownership, revalidation, version history and retirement make keeping knowledge current part of the service — not an occasional clean-up project.
