About SharePoint HR Sections
An HR section is a pre-built block for the content people look for on an HR intranet: HR contacts and top resources, company calendars, birthdays and work anniversaries, new employee spotlights, department directories and onboarding teams. With SharePoint's built-in web parts you build that page from separate people, events and quick links parts. ShortPoint HR sections combine them in one designed block, such as a calendar beside an FAQ, birthdays beside onboarding documents, or contact cards beside resource tiles. They connect to SharePoint lists, Microsoft 365 calendars and people profiles, so pages stay current. For ready-made HR intranet content ideas, compare every design in the carousel, from a full-width HR search bar to department dashboards with people, documents and events in one place, and preview each one live.
