The SharePoint Intranet Communication is regarded as an integral part of the organizational work-culture and inter-mingling enhancement system. Thus, setting it up has become quite compelling to most organizations. But do you think just setting it up is enough?
Of course not! The purpose of the intranet will be fruitful only when it is widely used by all the employees willingly and in fact, they wish to come back to it again and again not just because they are compelled to due to work purpose, but because they find it engaging and intriguing. Here are some flashcards for you as an employer, stating what can be done on your part to arouse that interest:
Create Interesting In-Network Chat features to replace Social Media
If we can direct the traffic to the social media networks to our own intranet, it can be of great use. This can be done by designing smooth, non- interfere able chat features.
Birthday & Anniversary Notification
Make the employees feel at home by being a part of as well as celebrating their special days.
Feedback System
Feedback is an essential pillar to maintain the working integrity of an organization. Improve transparency within the organization by seeking active feedback from your employees and understanding how employees feel about specific initiatives within the organization or the organization in general.
Quick Poll
Allow your employees to share their valuable opinion and make them a part of your decision-making process.
Open Door Feature or Anonymous Suggestion forums
There should be such tools which allows every employee to give suggestions either for the overall company’s interest or to a co-employee irrespective of anyone‘s post. Usually people refrain from suggesting to people who are senior to them or even to their colleagues to maintain their personal bonds at the cost of their professional improvements. Adding an option to go anonymous can help a lot in this regard.
Task
Encourage employees to check their current work allocations, and upcoming deadlines, allowing them to prioritize work effectively. Discover pending tasks easily using friendly filters. Show important information, such as due date and the person the task is assigned to on the widget itself. Prioritize tasks by checking the priority of the tasks in your task queue.
Easily accessible internal documents and libraries
All the public data of the company from any department must be accessible to all the employees through the intranet. This saves a lot of time when old data are to be used by people of other departments for their own work.
Virtual Rewarding System
Who doesn’t like getting praised! So, we should be providing a chance to the employees to praise each other for whatever they find good in each other. It will create a very positive and encouraging environment. 
Quick Links
Display links to the most commonly visited websites or blogs, thus giving your employees access crucial information while simultaneously saving them lots of time.
Organizational Newsletter
A weekly newsletter keeps everyone updated with the ongoing stuffs in the organization.
Common Virtual Space
There should be unguarded public virtual places where people can discuss about things other than their job.
Well connected and updated profiles
Make the profiles informative and relatable. Remember them to be as employees and not as just mere bio-data. All the profiles must
Encourage two-way communication
Annoucement or notification type of communication must be replaced with two way communication.
Latest News
Share company news and broadcast important updates related to your organization, thereby increasing transparency across the organization and making everyone aware of what is happening across the workplace.
Announcement Portal
A well updated announcement portal must be accessible to whole of the organization.
Responsiveness
It will be great to ensure that the intranet should be responsive to as much mobile devices as possible.
Discussion Forums
There should be open discussion forums where people actively take part.
Special Welcome and Farewell designed specifically for Onboarding and Off-boarding respectively
