Of the organizations we looked at, those with the most robust staffing had between 10 and 25 full-time employees. A simple takeaway for leadership is that the most effective enterprise intranets had annual budgets greater than $100,000. Our survey indicated that budgets ranged anywhere from less than $10,000 to $500,000 and (even beyond), which coincided with organization size. Providing your leadership with some benchmark budgets is one way to show how your intranet might stack up to others. This is especially true with your intranet budget. Intranets are unique in that they’re often a black box-it’s hard to compare yours with your competitors. Put the intranet in the context of a tool that brings multi-faceted value, because it does. Connect the performance data to other areas of the business like retention, morale, and efficiency. Help your leadership think of the intranet in terms of ROI. Want even more support? Take an internal survey to share real employee feedback with leadership on what’s working and what’s not. Gather data from Google Analytics and your other tools to show them how the intranet is performing as a communications tool. Gather performance dataĮxecutives are busy and don’t often have visibility into the day-to-day tactical aspects of the healthcare system. Build your intranet around the needs of your organization. What you do need is a strong, smart engagement strategy. And those considerations have only become more focused and top of mind during the pandemic with remote work.īut you don’t have to have all those things to be successful. If that’s true, how do you get leadership to care? Your executives are thinking a lot about morale, turnover and retention, culture and inclusion, and operational efficiency. In a recent survey we conducted with, only 12% of respondents indicated that their leadership viewed the intranet as 'very valuable.' This means they need executive champions for implementation and evolution. But as you know, they’re essential and worth the work. Unlike rapidly deployed collaboration tools like Zoom or Slack, intranets require more thought, more time, and more budget. This is particularly true for healthcare intranets, where the ease of sharing quickly-changing health data has a direct effect on patient outcomes.

The rapid shift to remote work coupled with the return to a hybrid setting are showing us that enterprise organizations are relying more and more on robust digital communications tools to keep teams connected and engaged.
