Employee Insights

Gathering thoughts and feedback from employees on a regular basis can help you better understand their experiences in the workplace. A study conducted by Gallup in 2022 shows that only 9% of employees in the UK are engaged at work.^[1] Posting a simple survey or poll on an intranet can allow you to uncover areas which need optimising to ensure employees are motivated and engaged within the workplace.

Community Groups

Creating space on an intranet for employees to share a common interest can be a great way to improve social connection, engagement, and collaboration between team members. Groups can be shaped around work-related interests e.g., a group for sales executives, or fun and informal interests e.g., a book club.

Awards & Thank Yous

A study conducted by Gallup showed that 40% of employees report receiving recognition just a few times a year or less.^[2] Celebrating the contributions and achievements of team members on an intranet can help improve motivation, productivity, and employee retention.

Training Opportunities

Undertaking a new project can be daunting to any employee, especially if they lack skills or experience to contribute on a project. Providing training opportunities through courses, workshops or e-learning can help fill the knowledge gaps employees may have, which will increase their confidence and overall engagement.

Events Management

Scheduling calendar events can be great for team building, boosting morale and collaboration between employees. Events can be work-related such as conferences, speakers, and expos or fun activities like escape rooms, scavenger hunts or team lunches.
