A company intranet is a private internal network with the sole purpose of being a central hub of every necessary information and resources the employees may need. It's like a digital headquarters where team members have access to company news, policies and HR documents.

Unlike a public website, an intranet is a private space just for the company and allows organizations to foster better internal communication as well as collaboration and camaraderie. Whether it be onboarding new recruits, pr sharing announcements, intranet help boost efficiency and keeps everyone on the same page.

Why Should You Have One?
