SpiceHCM for media
Newsroom, printing, delivery and sales in one personnel system, with competences, training and absences for each person.
The starting point
Many professions under one roof
A media house brings together people with very different professions and working hours. The newsroom writes for print, website, audio and video at the same time.
In the printing plant, technology and occupational safety count; in delivery, the day begins long before sunrise. Sales needs people who understand print and digital advertising equally well.
Anyone who wants to build new skills first needs to know which ones are already in the house. For this, SpiceHCM keeps all employees with their organisational unit and company on one data basis.
Who can do what, person by person
You organise competences in a catalogue with hierarchical categories. Position profiles link each position to the competences it requires. One person can hold several positions, for example in the newsroom and the video team. You record goals, target agreements and development measures for each employee.
- Competence catalogue
- Position profiles with requirements
- Several positions per person
- Goals and development measures
Recruiting
Job postings with approval
A job posting moves through fixed stages: planned, approved, published, active, paused or closed. Only what has been approved is published.
You record applications in the same system. The position profile shows which competences the new person should bring.
So the newsroom looks for data skills when it needs data skills, not for a job title. And anyone in the house who can already do what is needed stands out in the competence catalogue.
Training and instruction
Learnt, recorded, repeated
Employers must instruct staff in safety and health at work on recruitment, on transfer and with new work equipment. In the printing plant this applies to every new machine, in delivery to every new vehicle.
You manage instruction and further training in SpiceHCM as training courses, from request through planning to completion. The status shows which training is planned, held or completed.
Even for delivery teams who rarely come into the office, the record is thus kept in one place.
Absences with cover
Employees request holidays, sick leave and other absences in the system. Every request goes through an approval. During the absence, the deputy receives the notifications and takes over the system permissions. Absence calendars show who is available on which day. That matters most where the next issue cannot wait.
- Absence requests with approval
- Cover during absence
- Absence calendars
- Processes as workflows
What changes
One picture of the whole house
Newsroom, printing, delivery and sales are no longer kept in separate lists. You also manage several companies of one house in a single system. Human resources management sees where competences are lacking and plans training accordingly.
You choose the operation yourselves, in the Spice cloud or in your own data centre.
Directive (EU) 2022/2555, known as NIS2, does not generally count media companies among its sectors. Where the NISG 2026 covers one of your companies, its management bodies must attend cybersecurity training. The company must regularly offer corresponding training to its staff. You record this training in SpiceHCM like any other.
Three products, one platform
What SpiceCRM and SpiceQMS add for media companies
SpiceCRM, SpiceHCM and SpiceQMS run on the same platform. One licence for More opens all three, and anyone working in several is only billed once.
SpiceHCM: people and skills
Competences, training and absences share one data basis for each person.
SpiceCRM: readers and advertising on one basis
With SpiceCRM, you put subscriptions, advertising sales and delivery on one data basis. With every complaint, service sees the subscription and the delivery area.
SpiceQMS: quality with evidence
With SpiceQMS, you run audits to ISO 9001, with audit questions for every chapter of the standard. You evidence competence and training as ISO 9001 requires, using the same personnel data.
