Imagine launching a state-of-the-art intranet — sleek design, intuitive navigation and all the tools employees need at their fingertips. But after the initial rollout, you notice something troubling: engagement is sluggish, adoption rates are flat, and the platform feels more like a ghost town than a bustling hub. The problem often starts at the top. Lack of executive involvement can create disengagement all the way down.

A thriving intranet keeps employees connected, informed and engaged, making it central to the digital workplace. But getting it there requires more than simply setting up an intranet and hoping employees use it. For intranet program managers, the challenge lies in understanding what’s working, what’s not, and how to make improvements that truly matter to employees.
