Welcome to the 6th Annual Modern Intranets For The Digital Workplace Conference.

In this fast-paced forum, you'll get to know your fellow peers, their biggest digital workplace challenges, and a few fun facts.

Comcast's digital workplace is evolving into a very engaging platform on SharePoint and enables employees to be at the forefront of the experience.

In this presentation you will discover:

• How to create design for modern SharePoint
• What channels support employee engagement and company culture
• How to give employees a space regardless of their location and how to make digital experience personal

Over the past three years, the value of internal communications has become clearer than ever before. Organizations have a responsibility to keep their employees informed, inspired and connected while employees seek out critical information they need to do their jobs. An intranet platform can do so much: provide company, divisional and department updates and serve as a reliable source for mission-critical documents and resources. It’s a lot of information, much of it requiring intimate knowledge of the business and a variety of functions.
 
At Delta, we’ve cultivated a community of site owners and authors from among our 80,000 employees spread across divisions, departments and disciplines. Their contributions from across a diverse organizations are the life blood of our intranet, Deltanet.

In this session, Delta will share the strategies, opportunities and challenges of fostering an author community with content targeted towards employee group’s interests and needs, while providing centralized governance, training and best practices.
 
It will further explore how we’re considering the author and site owner roles as we plan for our transition.

Internal communication has a direct impact on an organization’s success. When done well, it builds employee engagement, company culture, and trust in leaders. Part of any good strategy is being able to recognize and solve for some of IC’s biggest challenges. In this session, learn strategies, insights, and tactics for tackling some of IC’s biggest challenges

Phillips 66 converted their intranet to SharePoint Online, going from a highly customized site to an out-of-the-box model with zero customization. This also allowed them to change the intranet from an information dumping ground to a living breathing integrated information source.

As this model has “settled in” across the company, the next challenge is to provide a level of personalization that improves the employee experience and enhances efficiency.

In this session learn about how this journey has led us to use the combination of out-of-the-box and integrations to make our intranet meaningful and efficient for employees.

• Why decide to go “out-of-the-box” vs. custom development?
• How they are using integration to create a personal experience
• What they are doing to help our employees find their relevant information as easily as possible

In 2021, New York Life migrated its entire collaborative social intranet to a new platform, delivering different capabilities, and features. While we originally took the “lift and shift” approach to move most of the legacy content, there were some key areas where we needed to have the end-user shape the ultimate end game from a design and experience perspective.

Come and learn our lessons, specifically:

• What to migrate from your intranet content, when and how
• When to simply “lift and shift” versus when to invest in user-centric design
• How to leverage feedback, metrics and more to shape the future
• Who to partner with to make it all happen, and generate a user-focused promotional campaign

Reservations have been made at a number of local restaurants.

Before COVID-19 changed the workplace, the Syngenta North America Communications and Information Technology teams recognized the critical need to sit down at the same table and work through challenges of language and practices to eliminate the siloes that had been created. From this moment, the two teams have been aligned on Town Halls, intranet designs, training for employees, and developing and educating employees on best practices for remote-based work.

Call us BFFs! Come learn how to develop a great relationship with your IT team members, including:

• Why it is critical that you meet in person and know the skills of your IT team members, and they know yours.
• Why this relationship is highly visible to senior leaders, and how to work cooperatively behind-the-scenes.
• Why cooperation between teams will drive best practices across different areas of the business.

With the variety of tools available it's hard to navigate and choose the one that is best for your organization.

In this fast-paced session you'll have the opportunity to see demonstrations of top digital workplace and communications tools of your choice.

We'll alert you when it's time to switch—grab a sweet treat on your way.

Reaching deskless workers can be a challenge with only traditional communications channels at your disposal. After extensive research to understand how to support its unplugged healthcare workers, Encompass Health launched an employee mobile app & intranet in 2015 with the goal of engaging its workforce through content and helpful self-services tools its employees both needed and wanted.

• How to build an employee app that suits your dispersed workforce
• Tangible ideas to create an app adoption strategy that answers employees’ all-time-favorite “what’s in it for me?” question
• How to engage and support content contributors to take part of the app management burden off your team
• Ways to measure your app’s success
• Directing employees to a central hub no longer works—deliver your intranet to where they are best practices
