Ragan Awards highlight: Hager Sharp makes intranet an essential destination for employees

Hager Sharp had clear goals in mind when they began to construct their first intranet. It needed to be a place where knowledge could be easily accessed and shared, and where culture could grow. But the firm wanted their intranet to become an integral part of their employees’ workflow by streamlining tasks and offering actionable insights.

The Hager Sharp Portal contains the things you’d expect from an intranet: There are embedded social media feeds, the weekly newsletter and handy links. But the intranet also became a powerhouse for business development. A table shows visitors recent business wins and proposals, but then goes one step further. The site contains a series of questionnaires that form a KPI dashboard that simplifies a tedious data entry process, shares the information with relevant parties and takes just five minutes to complete.
