Report Insights
"Events over recent years have highlighted how important it is to build and maintain a sense of community within an organization. Communities build bonds and provide a way to share expertise among colleagues. Additionally, communities can act as a brand indicator, allowing businesses to highlight what matters to them or may reinforce organization visions / values. Spaces for wellbeing, sustainability, LGTBQ++, or even a pets’ corner, will show employees what matters to their company and colleagues, as well as support them as individuals. Vendors have recognized these benefits and provide a variety of options to meet community needs.”

From the Analysts
With the radical shift to remote and hybrid work over the past two years, it is absolutely vital that intranets and digital workplaces service the needs of employees. The amount of remote and hybrid workers has increased by 64% since before the start of the pandemic, yet intranet technology has not changed.
This is partly due to the lack of information and resources surrounding digital workplace ecosystems. Many new features and capabalities have surfaced since 2020 but have not been sufficiently highlighted in the marketplace.
