Summary/Abstract: The paper reports on research done on a group of SMEs from Cluj county related to the use of WEB Tools for interacting with employees. In conducting the research, we departed from traditional HRM practices by treating employees as a non-homogenous group of internal stakeholders. The main research issues addressed are: employees’ and company’s preferences for specific WEB Tools, and perceived barriers to using them; what companies do to institutionalize those tools, and policies and procedures to govern their use; advantages and disadvantages associated with them; their impact on HRM activities. This work is part of a larger project researching business sustainability. We believe that WEB communication tools have a tremendous potential to change the way people interact and work, thus enabling HRM activities to make enhanced contributions to a company’s drive towards sustainability.
