Why your social intranet must be future proof

Written by Arthur | Mar 5, 2024 8:53:44 AM
At a time when everything is changing, the way organisations share knowledge and engage their employees is also changing. Therefore, changing times require changing solutions. Plek offers a platform that will help you improve your internal communications immediately, and helps you grow to improve employee engagement with modules for employee onboarding and MTO.
 
The biggest advantage of an optimally functioning social intranet is that employees themselves become responsible for the flow of information. This results in communication not only top-down, but also bottom-up. However, a good social internet has more to offer! It provides the ability to inform and involve your employees in what is happening within the organisation.
 
Why use a social intranet?
 
The main reason to implement a social intranet is to promote interaction amongst your employees, and communicate through one channel, rather than multiple channels. Basically, it is a communication platform that can be accessed by all employees within the organisation. Even if they work hybrid or remotely. In this way, you support them in their daily work and promote knowledge sharing and collaboration. Social intranet ensures that: 

  • Employees work more efficiently
  • Increased productivity
  • Improve employee satisfaction
  • Employees are more involved
  • Innovations are stimulated
  • Communication costs are greatly reduced

A social intranet that has more to it

Having your own social intranet is the solution to connecting with all your employees, engaging them from day one and onboarding them quickly and effectively. However, Plek is much more than that. With Plek, you implement your own social intranet for desktop and as a mobile app. You combine the power of a social intranet to learn, onboard and listen to your employees. Through 'smart conversations', as we call them, you gain insights that form the basis for further growth of the organisation. This is also the reason why organisations should choose a social intranet that is ready for the future as soon as it is implemented.

Plek connects and engages your employees. Plek helps you grow as an organisation by providing scalable 1-to-1 support to your employees, so they can perform their work more effectively. In this way, you enable the entire organisation to work more productively and better (together).
