Keeping Content Evergreen in Your Intranet Tool

Today, we’ve got driverless cars, virtual reality, augmented reality and AI driving business processes so much that we may be tempted to leave everything to automation.  The same applies to the company intranet. Once the platform becomes to yield desired outcomes – huge traffic, proper utilization of e-documents, seamless project management and high employee engagement, it reaches the exponential point. At this point you either maintain or increase the pace at which you have been incentivizing engagement lest productivity drops.

Soon, the time and energy you dedicate to making your company intranet engaging starts to make you feel you’re going back to the email way. To reinvigorate and make the portal’s content evergreen, consider the following tips.

Divulge Important Corporate Information through the Company Intranet Only

You can ‘force’ users to login to the platform everyday by ensuring that you post invaluable updates and corporate news only through the web collaboration platform. Whether it is about change in remuneration policies, healthcare insurance or career development programs, release the information via your intranet only.

Also, intranets are known for streamlining workflow management by automating processes such as filling of forms, process payroll information, and submitting progress reports. Create a site within the platform where employees can fill forms online, sift through their payroll information, comment about their insurance plans and look their monthly appraisal reports.

Post Captivating and Exciting Content

Remember your company intranet should look more like a social platform rather than a professional workplace interaction tool. Make it as social as possible by posting company stories, community events and latest trends that can intrigue your intranet community. Update your teams with news of achievements of sales teams, success of reps in trade fairs and how the team building went down last summer.

Post pictures of members of particular communities within the portal to ignite desire by other members to join such groups. In our organization, we have community sites for scuba divers, mountain hikers, workout teams and local rotary club. The admin posts and write stories about achievements of these communities creating interest among other intranet users.

Make Gamification Part of Your Company Intranet Policy

After every three months, we allow users to vote for the most vibrant community of the period. The voting is mandatory; it occurs via the intranet and stimulates communities to inspire other users to be affiliated to one of these groups.

Also, reward users who consistently use the platform – these are the users you might consider as influencers within the group. Just like Twitter gives a blue badge, use your own strategy to reward influencers within the intranet.

Enable users to write their blog posts that are vetted by the site’s editor before being posted. Employees might have informative and helpful content that can assist other users. You can engage such groups by giving them a chance to share their ideas via the company’s intranet portal blog section.

Avoid rinse and repeat patterns in your intranet strategies by being creative and including memes, gifs and other goofy humor in your posts.
