40 REASONS WHY EVERY BUSINESS NEEDS AN INTRANET

17. Support Flexible Working

The open-all-hours nature of the intranet means that employees can log on anytime and anywhere. This gives employees the opportunity to work more flexibly than ever before. Moreover, those staff that spend time out on the road meeting with clients or in a servicing role can provide a much more responsive service to customers. The mobile-optimized employee intranet means that all the company information is available at their fingertips.

18. Connect With And Retain Oversight Of Remote Workers

If your business utilizes remote workers or freelancers in the gig economy, then the employee intranet means you can connect with and retain oversight of these workers. Research tells us that 4.3 million employees in the US now work from home at least half of the time. This is a trend that’s only going to increase as among the non-self-employed, the number regularly working at home has grown by 140 percent since 2005. Therefore, it’s vital that companies have systems in place to meet the operational challenges.

19. Instill A Sense Of The Company Brand And Culture

As an organization-wide tool, the employee intranet is often used to instill in new hires or freelancers a sense of the company culture, its values and how they connect with the vision of the organization.

20. Develop Online Approval Forms

Every business needs to complete a variety of approval forms. Speed up the system and eliminate the potential for errors by automating these processes with online approval forms. Select from the employee intranet’s integrated forms builder or utilize an embedded Google Form and create your own customized forms. In addition, the employee intranet can automatically route the completed form through to the relevant staff member.
