2016 Intranet Design Annual Winners
Announcements
Congratulations to the 2016 Intranet Design Annual Award winners!
American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society’s team worked to consolidate a set of sites built on outdated technology; the goal was to increase user engagement and encourage collaboration. The resulting site has a strong structure, an inclusive resource library, and numerous opportunities for employees and volunteers alike to learn, share, and communicate.
Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP
The crisp design of this law firm’s intranet reinforces its goals: to provide easy access to information needed for daily work, enhance connections among employees, and, ultimately, to help the firm provide the best possible service to clients. A daily dashboard aimed at partners, a robust search tool that combs through internal records, and an informative firm directory form the core of this clean, efficient intranet.
DORMA
In just 60 days, the DORMA (dorma+kaba Group as of September 2015) intranet team created a global, social intranet in advance of two large company events. The impending events and the introduction of social tools offered a perfect setup for intranet success: the events acted as natural drivers for both social content creation and conversation on the site. Strong management support further ensured that this global company’s shift to a social intranet was notably smooth and well received.
Enbridge Inc.
The transition to SharePoint 2013 offered Enbridge the opportunity to revisit its intranet’s structure and visual design. Armed with user research, the team set out to recreate the intranet as a central place to connect and engage, using audience targeting to streamline communications and get the right information to the right people.
Intermountain Healthcare
Intermountain Healthcare created an elegant, responsive intranet that not only informs employees, it also capitalizes on their business know-how and works to keep them healthy and happy. In addition, the intranet’s gamification features give new meaning to the term “healthy competition.”
NAV CANADA
NAV CANADA’s intranet, called Central, is both functional and beautiful. The look and feel is calm and simple, gently reminding employees about the business, while increasing their confidence and empowering them to focus on the right things. An emphasis on help and guidance makes collaboration possible and successful.
Repsol S.A.
Repsolnet is commendable for its far-reaching inclusiveness: it accommodates employees in 40 countries who do a wide variety of jobs in offices as well as in the field. It also accommodates people with disabilities and people with slow internet connections. No matter who you are or where you are, if you work for Repsol, you are guaranteed to benefit from the intranet.
Salini Impregilo SpA
The Salini Impregilo Group was born from a merger between Salini and Impregilo that aimed to create an international champion in the construction sector. Unifying corporate cultures and communication is a persistent theme of this design. The intranet features sundry news and social features implemented in a solid infrastructure with unique tools. It relies on a close-knit, highly professional team and on employee advocates who focus on creating a user-friendly intranet.
The Co-operators Group Limited
Communication, collaboration, recognition, and community are underlying themes of the “Source” intranet. Source houses and promotes extensive, valuable information about company news and performance, employee achievements, and executive views. Although some organizations hide this type of information, Source lets employees see top news quickly and jump right to the task at hand.
The Swedish Parliament
When building an intranet for a governmental organization, it is essential to understand both institutional processes and user needs. The Swedish Parliament’s intranet team spent time upfront learning about roles, needs, and processes in order to undertake a user-focused development plan. The result is a modern responsive design with a focus on clarity and efficiency.
