Intranets

10. Get Everyone Involved

The more employees who use and contribute to your intranet, the more successful it will be.

10.1 Train all employees to use the intranet.

  • Demonstrate the benefits. Your staff must understand these.
  • Basic training only needs to be an hour long to get people started.
  • If you are using an agency, ask them to provide training as part of the deal.

10.2 Train non-IT people to use the authoring tools - at least one person in each office.

  • Most packages include a simple editing option similar to a word processor.

10.3 Identify enthusiasts who will help others to use the intranet and come up with ideas for developing it.

  • Find an 'intranet volunteer' to provide news and updates and be the local contact point.
