Moving Beyond Email with an Intranet or EXP

Email is a simple, effective tool for sending information and updates to employees, but it is not always the best choice for internal communication. For one thing, email is often cluttered and time-consuming, with employees receiving dozens or even hundreds of messages each day. This can make it difficult for important messages to stand out, and for employees to stay engaged and informed.

Another limitation of email is that it does not facilitate collaboration and teamwork. While email can be used to send updates and request input from employees, it is not designed for real-time collaboration or problem-solving. This can lead to misunderstandings, miscommunications, and a lack of cohesiveness among employees.

To truly engage employees and drive results, companies need a comprehensive internal communication platform that goes beyond just email. 

Intranet or Employee Experience platforms provide a single, centralized location for all company communications, updates, and collaboration. Some of the benefits of such a platform include:

Increased Engagement and Collaboration

A centralized platform encourages employees to participate in discussions and work together to solve problems and achieve goals.

An intranet can foster a more connected and cooperative work environment, where employees can work together seamlessly and achieve common goals more efficiently. This can lead to better project outcomes, improved team morale, and a more productive workplace.

An intranet can facilitate enhanced collaboration by providing various tools and features including:

• Document Sharing: Employees can easily share and access documents, making it easier to collaborate on projects and ensure everyone has the latest version of the document.

• Employee Directory: An employee directory is a centralized database or platform that contains information about the employees in an organization. The directory typically includes information such as names, job titles, contact information, and other relevant details about each employee.

• Team Calendars: Employees can view team calendars, schedule meetings, and coordinate schedules, which helps to reduce conflicts and ensures everyone is on the same page.

• Virtual Workspaces: Intranets often provide virtual workspaces for teams to collaborate on projects, share ideas and information, and communicate with each other.

Better alignment

Providing a single source for all company communications, Intranet, or Employee Experience platforms helps to ensure that employees are aligned on company goals and strategies.

Enhanced Employee Experience

Intranet or Employee Experience platforms also offer a range of features to improve the overall employee experience, such as HR portals, benefits information, and more.
