Did Facebook Just Kill the Intranet?

With the world the way it is right now, getting information out to your teams has never been more vital.

And with new company policies and government rules appearing every week, every business needs to make it as simple as possible for their teams to get to the resources they need.

But there's a problem with this.

The intranet.

All the rage in the 20th century - many company intranets have found themselves painfully out of date and no longer fit for purpose.

They're clumsy (often ugly in design) and built on an outdated tech stack.

And the way they are designed means many employees who need vital information, have to move away from the apps they use every day for work to find it. 

Research shows the average employee can spend hours every week looking for critical company information.

So your people are probably wasting time looking for simple things to do their job.

When Workplace came onto the scene a couple of years ago, it was an early sign that the company intranet was about to be disrupted.

But they just launched a new feature that may be its nail in the coffin...

Introducing... Knowledge Library.

Knowledge Library is a dedicated space within your Workplace account, where your managers and content creators can build and share the permanent resources your teams need.

You can create important content with the same simple composing tools, and then decide exactly who should have that content available to them.

And it couldn’t be easier to use.

So when your teams need knowledge fast, they no longer have to log in to a separate system. to find it. They won't need to wade through hundreds of irrelevant resources.

And they won't need to waste hours every week doing it.

Knowledge Library is an out-of-the-box feature that's built-in and ready to go. So if you're already on Workplace, it's already waiting for you to get started.

If you want more info on Knowledge Library or Workplace in general feel free to message me.
