Keen for your company to go digital? Need to keep up with your competitors? Want to be a trendsetter rather than a follower? Read on to learn how to future-proof your intranet.

If you answered yes to all the above, it can be difficult if your staff are lagging behind.

Employees in the middle-aged bracket who have worked with you for decades? Existing practices seem safe. But if you want to drive your organisation forward in a digital era, your staff need to get into gear.

And that’s where implementing an out-of-the-box intranet like Attollo can help.

How a modern-day intranet can help

Companies can be quick to spend lots of cash on external communications, but often neglect what really counts – their internal communications strategy. In today’s competitive market, you can give your business the edge by having a well-functioning system.

Often, a company’s decision to invest in a new intranet is to address major stumbling blocks including poor engagement, lack of communication, or an inefficient document-finding system.

Onboarding an Intranet like Attollo is a good place to start as it’s an incredibly user-friendly platform for older staff.

Features such as instant messaging, emojis and a mobile first approach will appeal to younger generations and help future-proof internal communications.

Youngsters want information fast. They get impatient. They don’t want to trawl and make multiple brew rounds while they wait for your intranet to load. If this is ringing alarm bells, it’s time to check out Attollo!

Flexibility and high speeds are your friends. A place where everyone goes regardless of age or ability, to get things done fast. An intranet should be a one-stop-shop!

Empower employees

To build a digital-first enterprise, companies need to empower the staff to do their best.

In these times of digital change, it’s vital that you have staff who are willing to learn new skills and able to change their mindset so that you don’t miss out on vital opportunities that come with new strategies.

Some of your staff many say they ‘don’t understand computers’ but smart organisations are shaping the marketplace because they are creating more productive and satisfying places to work.

With the ability to message instantly, receive instant feedback and use a chatbot to search quickly, the possibilities with a modern-day intranet are endless.

Reward staff

Attract and keep new staff for longer with up-to-date and recognise good work.

But with an intranet like Attollo, each contributor to the platform can be appreciated.

Attollo offers a transparent platform where work can be appreciated by the rest of the company – things that may otherwise slip under the radar. They could be recognised for the most sales or for something as simple as acts of kindness, giving the intranet a community feel, helping to boost communication between staff.

Create a positive working culture

Businesses with positive atmospheres reflect in job satisfaction levels and employee engagement. And people will go from to job to job searching for somewhere like that to work.

Attollo boasts tools and features that will engage your teams, giving them the drive for friendly competition, as well as far better tools for internal communications and streamlined collaboration.
