Internal Communication & Collaboration

Anyone who manages a large number of employees, teams and departments- and maybe even various locations- usually faces the challenge of effective team organization and efficiently exchanging information. Thankfully, a social intranet or an internal collaboration tool is a great solution here.

Today, intranets are much more than just storage for internal knowledge. Through new technologies and applications, they offer huge potential for effective communication, collaboration and knowledge sharing.

A well-functioning intranet brings many advantages, such as:

Employees remain constantly up to date with company news.
Project planning and the formation of project teams for efficient collaboration among all participants.
The intranet acts as a «digital» coworker, which encourages knowledge sharing and interaction via one single platform.
The intranet creates a greater sense of connection within a team (for example, you could use the platform to also share personalized, fun content between employees).
Employees can share dialogue and connect via intranet, as well as interact with one another’s content.

Before you setup an intranet for your team, make sure to answer a few important questions:

What functions should be available on the collaboration tool?
Which devices and operating systems should it be compatible with?
What should the content structure look like?
Which applications should be integrated?
What are the possibilities for interaction?
Are there tools that allow employees to interact and participate, such as blogs?
Are user’s job descriptions and organizational charts visible?

Until now, intranets have also posed the challenge of not being very mobile-friendly, which poses a difficulty for many companies- after all, most internal communication these days takes place on mobile. However, there is one great solution to this problem, better known as «Workplace from Facebook».

Our very own team here at Hutter Consult uses «Workplace from Facebook» as our everyday communication platform. It is the perfect solution for a growing company that is mobile-focused and prefers flexibility. This tool helps simplify everyday communication within the company in countless ways. «Workplace from Facebook» is a powerful, device-independent intranet alternative that fits companies of all sizes. The beauty of this tool? Thanks to its intuitive interface that’s based on the traditional Facebook platform, Workplace is practically self-explanatory. Not only that, it runs completely independent of Facebook and is also DSGVO/GPDR-compliant. It was also developed with a mobile-first approach, so it can be used in the office, at home, or even on the road with your smartphone.
