Productivity, collaboration and connectivity are becoming major issues for SMBs as the hybrid workplace evolves.
Employee engagement tops the list for digital workplace strategy according to nearly 50% of respondents to recent survey conducted by Powell Software in conjunction with StitchDX
Issues of exclusion in the workplace:
"In addition, more than 50% of teleworkers are concerned about exclusion in the workplace, as more and more people work remotely or in a hybrid way on a permanent basis", explains Matthieu Silbermann, Chief Product Officer of Powell Software.
Intranets are the answer:
Many small and medium-sized businesses are realizing that the best solution to solving these and other hybrid problems is to implement an intranet.
Intranets are no longer just for large companies or large networks. The biggest challenge for managing small businesses is finding a turnkey, simple, all-in-one, and cost-effective communication platform.
“Too often, workers end up drowning in a slew of digital tools that leave IT teams frustrated with having to implement and manage different solutions to build or upgrade an effective intranet,” says Powell's Silbermann.
>Unified Communication System:
Turns out, your company might already be using software that's the key to next-generation integrated and interactive internal communication.
It's likely that your company's employees use or are familiar with Microsoft Teams. Worldwide, more than 500,000 companies use Microsoft Teams, making it the ideal resource to use when designing a modern intranet for hybrid workplaces large and small.
Silbermann from Powell Software explains that their new Together solution provides a secure, all-in-one space that unites the next-generation intranet with Teams so employees can find everything they need in one convenient platform. P>
And by "everything," Silbermann even means innovations such as a virtual coffee machine and water cooler that allow remote, on-site and field workers and managers to meet virtually to create an inclusive culture and engaging.
Scalable solution in minutes:
Because Together is integrated with Teams, the scalable solution can be deployed across the organization in minutes.
Accessible from the Microsoft Teams app, browser, or mobile device, Employer Hub is always up-to-date and can be seamlessly upgraded to another version as needed.
Additionally, Together leverages Microsoft security to protect all data.
