Charleston Southern University Selects SwellSpace to Launch Barrier-Free HR Site

SwellSpace announced the successful launch of a custom website for Charleston Southern University, proving its HR and benefits communication platform's effectiveness in higher education. The public-facing portal streamlines resource access for employees, dependents, and candidates, directly addressing educational institutions' unique communication challenges.

"Universities like CSU are increasingly recognizing that accessible HR communication is essential for recruiting and retaining talent in a competitive landscape," said Jessica Brewer, CEO of SwellSpace. "Our platform eliminates the barriers created by password-protected systems and scattered information, allowing HR teams to reach everyone who needs information, whether they're current employees, family members, or prospective hires."

SwellSpace, which CSU branded "MyHR", delivers game-changing advantages:

• Public access without logins—reaching dependents and candidates
• Zero IT dependency—from setup through management
• Built-in analytics—tracking engagement and content impact
• Custom branding—maintaining institutional identity
• Centralized resources—eliminating communication silos

CSU partnered with SwellSpace to revolutionize their HR communications through seamless implementation—no complex integrations or technical resources required. Post-launch, the university has seen robust engagement with the platform, now functioning as their definitive HR and benefits information hub.

“Partnering with the SwellSpace team to bring SwellSpace/MyHR to life has been a transformative experience," said Rheagan Harvel, Director of Human Resources at CSU. "From the start, their team understood our vision and brought it to life.“ "Their expertise, creativity, and dedication helped us not only set a new standard for how we deliver our HR services but also build something truly impactful for our employees that reflects the institutional image of Charleston Southern University."

SwellSpace houses everything from employee rights and campus guides to benefits and payroll resources. With SwellSpace's intuitive management system, CSU's HR team updates content independently, which lessens dependencies on the IT and Marketing teams and creates unprecedented communication agility.

This success adds to SwellSpace's expanding higher education portfolio, where the platform's friction-free information access directly tackles the sector's unique workforce communication challenges.
