Blink And bring your modern intranet to life

Blink’s employee engagement app modernizes the intranet in a single, seamless app where communication, collaboration, and information are available anytime, anywhere.

Replace your aging intranet

When intranets first emerged, they gave organizations a way to store and share information internally. They soon added internal messaging and content management capabilities like forums. But modern enterprises relying on traditional intranets are faced with severe drawbacks, such as:

Frequently asked questions

All your questions about employee communication answered. Email help@joinblink.com if you have any others.

What is an intranet?

An intranet is a local, private network that companies use to securely share information. It is not accessible from the internet, and, thus, is typically only designed to support workers in the office. Intranets have come a long way since first being introduced in the 1990s, however still have limitations when it comes to reaching frontline workers.

What is the difference between a traditional intranet and a modern intranet?

Traditional intranets predate the internet as we know it. Though they are a secure and cost-effective way to share knowledge among some staff, they are often hard to navigate and a pain to keep updated. Plus, they typically exclude frontline workers and create a two-tier system of employee engagement. 

Modern intranets are designed to be mobile first and user friendly. They resemble social media platforms more than a database and encourage communication and collaboration. And, most importantly, they are built for frontline workers out in the field. Integrations with critical tools can make the modern intranet a true one-stop-shop experience for employees.

Do frontline workers need access to the company intranet?

Traditional company intranets were designed to keep office workers informed and connected. But frontline workers need access to much of the same information as office workers do, such as internal communications and the employee directory. By choosing a modern intranet that is mobile-first and built for frontline workers, you simplify communication and collaboration across the organization.

What features should a robust, modern intranet have?

If your goal for your modern intranet is employee engagement and productivity, it should have these key traits and features.

1. It should be simple for employees to use. Several features make a modern intranet simple, like a personalized newsfeed, integrations with other key apps, and an easy-to-use content management system (CMS).

2. It should be secure. Frontline workers don’t have time to juggle multiple passwords, so single-sign on is key. 

3. It should encourage collaboration. From an employee directory to in-app feedback and chats, a modern intranet needs to empower workers to communicate and create wherever work takes them.

4. A modern intranet should have the in-depth analytics you need to track individual and group engagement with content, helping your organization to constantly improve the employee experience.
