Appirio Social Intranet Jumpstart Why a Social Intranet?
Current Situation
Connect people to each other, not just to files
Today’s workforce is demanding a consumer-grade intranet experience—like they enjoy in their personal lives—to access business applications, corporate services and bring about new levels of collaboration using social and mobile tools in the workplace. According to a recent IHRIM survey, commissioned by Appirio, more than 80% of companies have an intranet of some kind. Unfortunately, even the best intranets today do little more than provide a convenient content repository and easy access to other applications. Few companies have intranets that engage employees and get them working more effectively.
Engage employees and increase productivity Reduce time wasted in email and searching for information Create the foundation for a mobile and social workplace Maximize investments in applications and content by making them easy for employees to access
Why Appirio? HCM and Talent Strategy Expertise Recognized as thought-leaders in HR strategy and workforce 2020. First Social Intranet Built on Salesforce Platform Appirio’s EdgeForce framework is an easy-to-use, powerful foundation for a social and mobile employee experience.
Employee engagement is critical to success in today’s environment and social intranets are a good way for HR to create an engaging and useful asset, fast. Research by Gallup and others has concluded that when employees are engaged at work they are more productive, drive higher levels of profitability, are more customer-focused, and more likely to stay with their current employer. Yet only 29 percent of employees are classified as “engaged.” So how can we create an intranet experience that engages employees, fosters collaboration, encourages ideation and becomes an integral part of the employee experience?
Appirio Solution Cloud, mobile and social technologies make it possible to create an intranet that provides anytime, anywhere access to organizational information, knowledge, expertise and tools—all designed with the employee experience in mind. Centering the design and features around the employee experience enables social intranets to have not only a dramatic impact on productivity and efficiency, but employee engagement as well.
