How can an intranet improve communication?

“91% of US workers admit that they sometimes delete or discard work-related information without fully reading it.”

– Business Insider
Internal communications can struggle to achieve cut-through, competing with the constant flow of information people need to absorb to do their jobs. Email is often an overused channel, and messages via chat apps like Teams or Slack can get lost very quickly.

Benefits of an intranet for communication in the digital workplace

An intranet can support effective internal communications by ensuring that messaging is fresh, relevant and visible – a single channel of fresh, interesting information exposed to users as they do their work.

Injio offers internal communicators several easy-to-use options, delivering engaging, interactive communications through a range of modules.

Increase Intranet Adoption With Internal Communications

There are many factors that impact intranet adoption but content is one of the most influential. Fresh, relevant content – in combination with essential resources, a trustworthy, comprehensive knowledge base and useful forms & processes for self-service – creates an attractive digital destination that users will consider an integral part of their workday.

Creating successful intranet content requires creativity and inspiration along with a few rules:

  1. Clarity is paramount. Ensure your content is concise and easily digestible, employing straightforward language to convey complex information. This helps employees quickly grasp key messages and fosters a positive user experience.
  2. Relevance is key to maintaining interest. Tailor your content to address the specific needs and interests of your internal audience. Regularly update information to keep it current, providing valuable and timely insights that resonate with employees.
  3. Interactivity enhances engagement. Foster a sense of community by incorporating intranet features such as forums, polls, and comment sections. Encourage employees to share their thoughts and experiences, promoting a collaborative and inclusive environment.
  4. Aesthetics matter. A visually appealing intranet design can significantly enhance the user experience. Use consistent branding, clear layouts, and multimedia elements to make your content visually appealing and easy to navigate.

By prioritising your users’ needs and leveraging the superior publishing power of Injio, you’ll create an intranet that not only disseminates information effectively but also fosters a positive and engaging internal communications platform for your organisation.
