Intranet Systems
Build an intranet for your employees so they can easily communicate with each other, find the documentation they need, or request vacation time - all in one place. At Droptica, we can help you.
Make employees' lives easier with an intranet
An intranet or extranet system is an excellent starting point for all your employees. It's a primary platform to connect and stay in touch with the company, especially for those who work remotely and in a distributed mode. It makes it easier for team members to feel part of a large, vibrant organization and witness their impact on it. The intranet allows them to keep up with what's happening in other departments they may not work with on a daily basis and to see how everyone is working together for success.
Benefits of intranets
If you want your employees to feel more a part of your organization, increase team spirit, and effectively manage internal communications, intranet systems will benefit you in many ways.
Centralized information hub
- Intranet systems provide employees with a secure repository for documents, policies, manuals, and company-wide resources.
- Team members can swiftly locate crucial data, reducing time spent searching for information thanks to organized file structures and permissions-based access.
Convenient way to engage
- Employees can confidently engage in discussion forums to express their ideas and concerns and receive recognition from their peers.
- Intranets align employees with the company's vision and foster a sense of belonging by providing access to company news, updates, and goals.
Open internal communication
- Intranets enable direct employee interaction, encouraging transparent exchanges of ideas, feedback, and knowledge sharing.
- These platforms promote open communication through discussion forums, chat functionalities, and employee directories.
Team-building activities
- Intranets provide dedicated spaces for team collaboration, project management tools, and virtual meeting capabilities.
- Corporate platforms help coordinate team efforts and foster a sense of unity among remote or dispersed teams.
Easier onboarding for employees
- Intranets streamline onboarding for new employees by centralizing essential resources, such as orientation materials, company policies, and training modules.
- The digital onboarding platform, with its easy-to-use interface, demonstrates good organization within the company.
Learning and development platform
- Intranet portals offer access to tutorials, e-learning courses, certification processes, and knowledge-sharing communities.
- Employees can participate in online courses, webinars, or skill-building sessions tailored to their roles and career aspirations.
Give your employees a say in the company
An intranet system is not just a collection of information to be viewed. It's a living organism that allows employees to participate in the life of the organization. For instance, people on board can use it to propose changes to the company. Others can vote on them and help make them happen. The intranet also lets you promote company culture and share news from different departments. The easy creation of blog posts means that anyone in the company can be delegated to write and publish articles.
Keep team members up to date and watch all your projects
By building a corporate intranet for your organization, you can support project management processes and provide access to information for everyone involved. At the same time, you can easily control user permissions and decide who can see personal data, for example, and who has insights into reports or tools. Intranet platforms also allow you to easily create views, such as specialist certifications, employee hierarchies, project durations, or the Frequently Asked Questions section to keep your employees up to date.
