2017 Intranet Design Annual Winners
Announcements
Congratulations to the 2017 Intranet Design Annual Award winners!
Bank of America, NA
Bank of America created HR Connect to simplify and improve its employees’ online HR experience and to help them take advantage of all the benefits available to them at the bank. A strong site structure, personalized information, and clearly written content combine to create a unified global HR experience.
Encana Corporation
Consolidated is the best word to describe ECN, Encana’s intranet. With a litany of challenges to overcome, the team focused on short-term goals and wins to help derive an outstanding design. News, tools, and engaging features entice employees to read and participate, while the team’s efforts to inventory, audit, and consolidate elements — from the IA to policies — make the design slick and innovative.
Goldcorp, Inc.
Conveyor supports Goldcorp’s 5,500 information employees in offices and mines alike, working above and below ground in Canada and Latin America. The site consolidates helpful applications with thorough news and communication, while the polished design gilds the site in more ways than one.
Goodwill Industries International, Inc.
Transitioning from a site with an overgrown, employee-generated folksonomy to one with a clearly defined taxonomy helped the Goodwill Industries International intranet become a place for employees to share best practices, resources, and information with its numerous local, independent member organizations.
IBM Corporation
How do you make an intranet work for a half a million workers with extremely varied job roles? If you’re IBM, you assemble a large and talented team, push open source to its limits, and improve Agile by creating a dedicated user research scrum team with its own research backlog. Then come up with a winning responsive design that features personalization and flexible cards.
JetBlue
Supporting a very strong, positive company culture, HelloJetBlue offers a combination of resources, tools, and news packaged in a friendly, imaginative way. The intranet keeps JetBlue’s employees, known as Crewmembers, motivated and firmly grounded, even while soaring above the clouds.
Kerry Group plc
The mykerry intranet uses new social sharing and collaboration tools together with robust employee profiles to help employees find information and connect with one another. In just nine months, the team created a SharePoint site that helps employees communicate across five continents and 50 different countries.
Latvian Railway: State Joint Stock Company “Latvijas dzelzceļš”
The Latvian Railway intranet provides equivalent information, regardless of device, for all site users. The responsive site integrates a variety of systems, making the intranet a single point of entry to everything employees need to do in the course of a day.
Santander Group
A company-wide digital transformation process — combined with employee requests for a modern, innovative intranet — gave this intranet team the perfect opportunity to greatly improve on an already helpful site. The team analyzed employees’ habits to further strengthen the previously evolved communication, collaboration, and personalized tools. All of this combined to create an up-to-date, on-brand look that’s engaging, with innovatively designed menus that seem to slide from nowhere and generate additional screen real estate.
Tourism New Zealand
A clean design, rewritten content, and well-integrated social features turned Tourism New Zealand’s new responsive intranet into an essential tool for communication and collaboration, regardless of location or device.
