1. Boost connection with centralised internal communication

Work has never been noisier. Between the overflowing inboxes, constant pings from various apps, and a sea of browser tabs, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed before the day even begins. So, it’s no wonder your company updates aren’t being read and important documents are disappearing into a maze of messy folders.

That's where a well-designed intranet communications hub comes in. Instead of drowning in endless email threads, your team gets a single, easy-to-use space where everything important lives - from employee spotlights and quick video updates to company events and team wins. And from there, clear buttons can lead people straight to the files and folders they actually need.

A beautiful, branded communications hub will elevate your intranet into a vibrant space that brings your people together, keeps everyone in the loop and helps your culture shine across every corner of the business.

When you create a news post on SharePoint, click ‘send as email’ to deliver your important company update straight to your team’s inbox. Plus, you’ll be able to monitor if it’s actually being read thanks to real-time analytics!

2. Simplify compliance and collaborative working

Collaboration is all well and good, until compliance gets in the way - especially in industries like healthcare or pharma. Thankfully, a well-managed intranet can help your teams collaborate securely without having to give up flexibility or creativity.

Think of your intranet as the safety net enabling your team to work together on projects or documents together with confidence. It offers built-in security features like easy-to-use access controls, secure document sharing and transparent version tracking. This means less worrying about compliance breaches and more time spent creating meaningful work together.

For sensitive projects, we recommend creating a separate, secure site within your intranet that is only accessible to the relevant people. It’s an easy way to keep collaboration organised and compliance-friendly, without any unwanted surprises.

3. Enhance company culture and employee engagement

Culture can’t be forced - it comes from genuine interaction and connection. So why not make your intranet a space that builds a sense of belonging?

Imagine an intranet alive with discussion forums, employee-generated content, peer recognition and interactive features like quizzes and polls. By infusing your intranet with personality and encouraging participation, you’ll help your employees feel valued and connected.

And when your company culture is strong, your employees become more engaged and motivated, boosting overall happiness at work. Isn’t that the whole point, anyway?

Turn your intranet into a learning playground! Create a hub with quick and engaging resources like short videos or infographics to keep everyone curious and growing together.

Time to show your intranet some love

It’s okay to admit it - your intranet isn’t getting the attention it deserves. So, maybe it’s time to dust it off, inject some creativity and watch your team’s work days become smoother and more connected.
