Your Intranet – A Critical Leadership Tool

Sean Winter
4 minute read

The world of work has changed. Though the pandemic is behind us, a notable trend persists among the US workforce: more than 35% of employees with remote-capable jobs still operate from home, with an additional 41% adopting hybrid work models (Source: Pew Research Center). This marks a substantial departure from the mere 7% recorded in 2019!

The new digital reality for employers and employees means that 'telework' is no longer the exception. It is an integral part of the new way we do our jobs. Even with employers trying to encourage staff back to the office, workers are clear that they want the flexibility to work remotely at least for part of the week.

With staff working at the office, at home, or on the road, and sometimes in different countries, how do leaders in key departments encourage productivity, cohesion, and a strong sense of company culture? To help answer that question we produced a whitepaper on the subject

In an age where remote work has now become an operational necessity, supportive technology is critical. Enterprises need an information resource and communications tool that encourages meaningful connections and a strong sense of engagement. A robust and versatile intranet is the thread that links clients, peers, leadership, and management.

For internal communications leaders charged with circulating key information about the company, a robust communication tool is a critical piece of infrastructure linking your team. From imminent changes, crisis events, or the announcement of new company-wide initiatives, a powerful intranet guides and helps shape employee experience and engagement.

Here are some of the benefits that an intranet platform like LumApps can offer your team: 

  • Create a digital headquarters with personalized branding to foster company culture. 
  • Enhance messaging and quality, while leveraging the power of AI for message distribution. 
  • Overcome language barriers through automated translation for seamless communication. 
  • Facilitate the creation of social hubs for employees to connect and engage on various topics.
     

LumApps gives internal comms leaders a robust platform to craft and disseminate messages across the organizational spectrum. From company-wide communications to tailored and individualized messages, LumApps streamlines and enhances connectivity for a digital-first workforce in an effective and meaningful way.

Choose an intranet that is accessible, connected, and secure

For information technology (IT) leaders, a critical concern is striking the right balance between security and accessibility. They need to be able to easily and quickly configure employee access, wherever staff are in the world. Legacy intranet technologies often made this a tedious and complicated process.

LumApps gives IT managers more control over employee permissions and the range of access to their company's interface. Department leaders can configure settings so that all employees experience the rich interactive features of the platform while reserving data lake and analytics access to senior management and higher.

LumApps also makes it simple for frontline employees to use their company's platform, even if they do not have access to Google Workspace or Microsoft Office. Our application ensures security while automating internal content management often performed by dedicated IT or administrative staff.

As a result, IT teams can hand off tedious and repetitive tasks and focus their energy on improving the user experience. This makes it easier for colleagues to get work done and communicate with clients and management.
