Your intranet should be the heart of internal communication, but if it’s clunky, outdated, or irrelevant, employees won’t use it. In fact, only 13% of employees use their company intranet daily, while 31% rarely or never use it. With hybrid work here to stay, it’s time to reimagine your intranet as a tool that fosters connection, collaboration, and engagement.
Key Points
- The Engagement Gap:
-
- Traditional intranets overwhelm users with irrelevant content and poor navigation, leading to disengagement.
- Frontline workers, in particular, struggle to access critical updates on the go, creating inefficiencies in industries like retail and healthcare.
- The Fix: Modern, Mobile-Ready Intranets:
- Real-World Success:
- Companies using platforms like Powell Intranet report higher adoption rates and improved collaboration. For example, BlueGrace Logistics streamlined communication across hundreds of employees with Powell’s user-friendly interface.
Fixing your intranet isn’t just about upgrading technology—it’s about creating a tool that employees genuinely want to use. By addressing the engagement gap with modern features like AI-powered search, mobile accessibility, and gamification, you can turn your intranet into a dynamic platform that fosters connection and collaboration. The result? Higher productivity, improved morale, and a stronger organizational culture. It’s time to reimagine your intranet as a strategic asset that drives success in the hybrid work era.
