Company Intranet Communication

Tips And Ideas To Increase Company Intranet Usage

Your intranet is your single source of truth – a reliable place employees can go for any information, forms, policies or anything else they need.

It’s more than just a repository of information though. Your intranet can also offer tips to inspire staff, interactive tools to encourage participation and forums to support collaboration.

Your company intranet can be a valuable communication channel – it’s easily managed in-house, control is maintained, updates are fast, and there are little or no new technical platforms required.

But without effective internal communications your intranet can become a nicely-designed ghost town. Celebrate what it offers, advise when updates are made, and promote it as a core business tool through better staff engagement.

Desktop notifications via scrolling desktop tickers can be used to notify staff of relevant updates and link them to relevant intranet content.

Screensavers turn employee computer screens into interactive billboards promoting the intranet, with the ability to include images, video and other media.

Digital internal newsletters can summarize intranet updates as short teasers to encourage staff to visit the intranet for more details on specific content.

Employee surveys help drive employee participation by encouraging and collecting feedback on the intranet, what aspects are most valued and what could be improved.

Additional Features For Performance And Management

When you’ve worked hard to build and maintain your intranet, you’ll want additional features to make your internal communication work even harder. The SnapComms platform includes these features – and more – built in.

Setting up distinct audience groups makes targeting easy, such that only employees who need to know will receive the relevant intranet notifications. Targeting also helps with survey sampling, ensuring that more employee views are represented in any research.

Recurrence options can be set up so that the messages or a staff quiz keep reappearing until it’s acknowledged or completed – guaranteeing you 100% readership.

Delegated administration rights mean that you can nominate staff across the business to create and publish content to promote the intranet. For example, Marketing might run new product quizzes with links to relevant intranet pages, or HR might run screensavers promoting new staff support programs on the intranet.

Comprehensive reporting provides insights which allow you to make improvements in real time. Readership can be analyzed at employee, team or campaign level, giving you the full picture of communication effectiveness.
