6 things every intranet home page must have

Whether you are implementing a new intranet or looking to revamp the one you have, the key to enhancing employee engagement and ensuring intranet adoption is a well thought-out and executed intranet home page.

Your home page is the first thing employees see when they click onto the intranet or, in some cases, when they open their browsers. It is their first impression of what the intranet can do for them, and it’s often the deciding factor in whether they choose to use the site.

Working on the Intranet Connections support team has given me insight into the ways various industries use their intranet home pages to garner the best results. For example, businesses in the health care industry highlight doctors right on the home page, whereas financial companies focus on making documents and forms readily available.
