How to Turn Your Intranet into a Daily Destination for Employees

Struggling with low intranet engagement? 

You’re not alone. Most intranets are launched with excitement only to become digital ghost towns within weeks. But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Here’s how to build an intranet employees actually want to visit every single day. 

5 Practical Ways to Drive Daily Intranet Use 

1. Make It a Personalized Homebase 

Show users what matters most: 

• “My Tasks,” “My Calendar,” “My Teams” 

• Tailored news & updates based on department or role  Why it works: Reduces friction and builds habit. 

2. Feature Dynamic, Real-Time Content 

Keep things fresh with: 

• Company news, upcoming events, and team spotlights 

• Birthday shoutouts, polls, recognitions  Why it works: Gives employees a reason to check in regularly. 

3. Centralize Tools & Resources 

Add quick-access links to: 

• Leave forms, policies, helpdesk, payslips 

• Training content, org charts, benefits info  Why it works: Employees use what’s easy to find. 

4. Add Two-Way Interaction 

Encourage engagement with: 

• Commenting on posts 

• Surveys, feedback forms, and idea boards  Why it works: Turns the intranet into a living, evolving space. 

5. Align It with Your Brand & Culture 

Use your brand colors, tone, and voice. Make the intranet feel like an extension of your workplace.  Why it works: Visual familiarity builds trust and belonging. 

Bonus Tip: 

Launch with a bang. Run a launch week with games, contests, and small rewards to drive first-time logins and create a buzz.
