An intranet can help organizations by streamlining communication, automating tasks, providing fast search, facilitating collaboration, and improving employee engagement and productivity. A modern intranet acts as a one-stop shop that connects the organization, allowing employees to easily complete tasks, communicate, collaborate, and share knowledge. Features like personalization, simplified collaboration tools, and integrated communication help cut down on distractions and give employees back their time.

How Focus on Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Improves Digital Workplace Ado...Christiaan Lustig
What is most important when implementing and optimising an intranet or digital workplace? How do you make sure, as a project group, intranet manager or owner, that you’re doing the right things… and doing things right? How do you get all stakeholders in your organisation on the same page? And which practical guidelines are there to improve content, adoption, and business processes?
I talked about how a shared focus on the digital employee experience (DEX) helps Comms, IT, HR, business teams, and potential partners to create a strategy and roadmap for the digital workplace. About how you then shape it in such a way that colleagues can work and collaborate more efficiently and effectively, and spend their time and attention with customers, citizens, tenants, students, guests, and so on. With better service and happier employees as results.
The model that I use, combines multiple perspectives on digital employee experience, and encompasses various ‘tracks’ for a DEX approach. These include UX, content, technology, adoption, and governance. For each of these tracks, Christiaan shares practical examples from Dutch and Belgian (international) organisations, and advise that you can get started with right away.

Disruptive digital workplace: 3 approachesJane McConnell
The digital workplace disrupts enterprises. It challenges traditional ways of doing things. This presentation offers 3 approaches to defining your strategy towards the "digital workplace mode".
Today’s growth in technological capabilities, exponential increase in computing power available to both consumers and enterprises, and almost ubiquitous Internet connectivity among other digital advances is changing the way employees and enterprises work.
Organizations are benefiting from the increased digitization of the workplace through increased productivity, cost savings, a more mobile and agile workforce, and generally increased flexibility and adaptability in an ever increasingly complex marketplace. Enterprises are collaborating more globally, and with more diverse and global staff. Employees can now work all over the world, from the jungle to the arctic, as long as they have reliable Internet.
While this has been a boom for employers, it has also changed the power balance in the employer-employee relationship, often more towards the employee. The ability to work from anywhere and stay connected through smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices has enabled employees to stay connected and collaborate with peers and stay on top of digital trends more readily than the organizations they work for.
This new digital workplace also creates its own challenges, including security, developing a new kind of digital etiquette to expectations for employees, and the tendency for building expectation of always being “on,” causing burnout and often leading to retention problems. Integrating digital technologies into the workplace can not only wreak havoc on the productivity of workers, but it also creates its own distinct culture, impacting the previous work culture and the general work experience. These changes will challenge the workplace by forcing both executives and employees to adapt the way they interact with each other and the technologies that enable their work.
Companies must be proactive in creating new systems and policies, and re-interpreting their corporate culture around digital in the workplace, or they risk losing clients, productivity, and employees.

The world has become a giant network, transformed by the
growth of mobile devices and social technologies. In fact,
there are now more devices than people.1 This networked
world is clearly evident in our personal lives: We keep in
touch with our friends and family on Facebook or Instagram,
use Twitter to get the latest news from people around the
globe, and often find our next career opportunity with
LinkedIn. In this networked world, people connect with each
other easily, information and knowledge move faster, and we
are able to accomplish more by working together.
Internal communications in the workplace has undergone tremendous changes. Technology, remote working, globalization, and flat structures have led businesses to rethink how they communicate with their employees.
In these slides, we discuss, what internal communications is, how to put an effective internal comms plan in place, and the latest trends, standards, benefits, and challenges.

Yorktel Whitepaper: Save Money, Leverage Time Return on Engagement Using Coll...Melissa Luongo
By Ron Gaboury CEO
We have become a society where information is received multiple ways simultaneously. Media simultaneously has “talking heads,” visual data, social media and graphics at the bottom of the screen; accessible everywhere. Younger generations expect this constant video flow as the norm. Can this backfire? How do we use it to our advantage instead of giving in to ‘information overload’? It is time to develop a strategy to better engage people by effectively using collaboration and visual tools. Here we discuss how to shift the ever-common business meeting into a collaborative session that not only boosts productivity, but nurtures your “soft assets” and promotes a measurement far more important than ROI—your ROE (return on engagement).
Whether you’re building a business case or looking to measure that all-important ROI, knowing the (many) potential advantages of an intranet will ensure you’re getting the most out of your platform. So, just what are the benefits of using an intranet?
Create A Smart Digital Workplace And Unlock splendid Employee Experiences | B...Businessezee
With easy access to internal communications, essential business software, and enterprise social networks, the digital workplace enables great employee experiences.
These past few years have accelerated changes and disrupted how companies lead, enable, empower, and engage around communications. Leaders in corporate communications, human resources, and IT are all tackling new responsibilities and challenges in connecting with employees who no longer regularly share the same workspace and may be overwhelmed with increased communication volume, velocity, and variety.
We have been catapulted into a new employee experience paradigm, and it can be challenging to get our bearings. We now need to plan for the future, but it can be hard to consider the future when the present is filled with unique and pressing communication challenges. Yet, the future of communication may hold answers to problems we are experiencing today; it may inspire us to change and, perhaps most importantly, enable us to understand how to prepare to embrace a better one.
We have gathered leading industry experts on employee communications, intranets, the digital workplace, and employee experience to help us navigate the years ahead. Join James Robertson, a Step Two global thought leader and author on digital employee experience, Suzie Robinson, author of the popular ClearBox employee experience platforms report, and Richard Harbridge, a celebrated Microsoft MVP, as they share insight on how to better understand, leverage, and prepare for the future of employee communications.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

WorkplaceGive your people their time back
Productivity at work is a well-known area of research and there's a lot we know about how
inefficient work practices can seriously affect an organisation's bottom line, employee
satisfaction and employee retention. Time is money, right? So let's start with the bad news:
● A business with 100 employees spends an average downtime of 17 hours per week
clarifying communication, translating to an annual cost of over half a million dollars.1
● Actively disengaged employees cost the US $450 to $550 billion per year in lost
productivity and in the UK the cost of lost productivity due to ill health and
'presenteeism' is around £61 billion per year.2
● Organisations with low employee engagement scores saw 18% lower productivity,
16% lower profitability, 37% lower job growth and 65% lower share price over time.3
Yet similar research clearly shows that an informed, engaged and technologically empowered
workplace sees an increase in these areas, so here's the good news:
● The McKinsey Global Institute found that productivity improves by 20-25% in
organisations with connected employees. That kind of increase in productivity has
the potential for revenues amounting to $1.3 trillion per year.
● When employee engagement increases, there is a corresponding increase in
employee retention by up to 87%.4
● Information workers prefer newer communication tools, particularly instant
messaging, over more traditional ones like e-mail or team workspaces and can
increase employee satisfaction by a median of 20%.4
But how do you give employees their time back, increase engagement and productivity?

Modern intranets - or digital workplaces - can empower
an entire organisation to be as efficient as possible.
It's common that organisations run a number of different digital tools - HR and payroll,
customer relationship management, planning, organisational structure and document
storage. It may even allow some cross-organisational or departmental communication.
But when people can't quickly find what they're looking for, to complete the task they need to
do via clear and intuitive interfaces, it can be incredibly frustrating and a significant waste of
time.
A great intranet - or digital workplace - is the one-stop-shop to connect your organisation and
allow your employees to complete tasks, communicate, collaborate and share knowledge to
deliver better outcomes. It will also support an organisational culture that people want to be
part of.
A truly effective intranet solution will:
● streamline communication
● automate recurring tasks
● provide fast and accurate search
● integrate with existing systems
● facilitate collaboration
● improve staff relationships
● increase engagement
● promote the organisation's culture
Let's explore how a modern intranet is an essential ingredient in improving productivity.
Transformational Intranet | 3
4. The way we work has changed. It's always been changing and
for the last few hundred years, the change has been slow and
incremental. Today, tasks that used to take hours, days or even
weeks to complete can happen in an instant.
Breakthroughs in technology have had an immense impact not
just on the way we work and how organisations manage
information, but also on where we work and how we interact
and communicate.
Initially disruptive, these same breakthroughs have also given us
easy-to-use and intuitive interfaces which, connected to
communication networks, have created new ways of working
and collaborating.
But these technologies have also made it easy to bombard
employees with unnecessary information, emails, meetings and
processes.
A truly effective intranet solution doesn't just help people do
things better and faster than in previous eras, it also enables
new ways of control, coordination, and collaboration on
activities, faster and at a lower cost.1

Cut the clutter and reduce the noise
While you're reading this eBook, it's likely you'll check your phone, reply to a text message, read an email, pop
in to a meeting or stop to answer a question from a colleague.
Let's take a look at some of those distractions and how an effective intranet solution tackles them.
Email overload is a significant problem in most workplaces with the average employee spending 2 to 2.5 hours
per day reading and writing emails leading to feeling stressed and isolated, fragmented tasks and longer
workdays.2
Email overload is caused by the volume of messages, poorly targeted emails, numerous attachments, long
email chains and is often caused by emails being sent to too many people as CC or Reply All when not
necessary or not relevant to the recipient.
A well-designed intranet can help cut the clutter and reduce the noise in an employee's email inbox by
providing the tools to better handle information flow and reduce disruption.
Emails and messaging can be more effectively targeted to specific departments or groups meaning less time
spent on sorting through an inbox of useless information. Using advanced social tools can reduce the time
spent communicating through email or phone.
And frankly, if the individual receiving an email doesn't actually need it - it's simply corporate spam clogging up
their inbox.
A typical office worker
is interrupted on
average every 11
minutes and it takes an
average of 23 minutes
to return to the original
task after an
interruption.1

6. Is that meeting really necessary?
While important, meetings need to be relevant and well-
organised. Unnecessary meetings are an incredible waste of
time, money and the goodwill of your people. It's said that
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos applies a simple rule to all meetings:
Don't plan a meeting at which two pizzas will not feed
everyone present.
Meetings are another area that can often be handled well
using the tools available in a great intranet, and many of
these are based on social media tools that people are
already familiar with and find easy to use.
Consider if your proposed meeting can actually be handled
more efficiently via email, video conference, chat group or
instant messaging. Taking the 'meeting' to where people are
using digital tools also makes it easier for people to be
efficient, record actions and provide feedback.

Workplace
Make it personal and relevant
Personalisation in the workplace is rapidly becoming the new normal and is increasingly expected by employees.
Digital workplaces are now providing employees with communication and engagement tools at work that they've already been using for years in other
consumer technologies such as social media and online shopping, and probably on a mobile device.
A central digital workplace that fosters a culture of collaborative engagement and two-way communication across an entire organisation is a powerful way
to keep staff aligned with your organisation's strategies.
Research shows that productivity improves by 20-25%1 in organisations with connected employees and employee retention increases by up to 87%2.
At work, your employees expect your intranet - or digital workspace - to make their lives easier and deliver to them exactly the tools they need to do their
job, and to do it fast and efficiently. It will:
● promote efficiency by integrating with existing systems to provide seamless information flow
● provide easy access to each individual's unique workplace tools
● act as a one-stop-shop for all internal content, information and services with unified messaging that supports the organisation's strategic plans
● save time with exceptional search functionality
● facilitate fast and easy transparent communication across the organisation
● encourage and enhance collaboration
● streamline common or regular tasks and workflows
● be mobile and support modern, flexible workplace and remote working policies
A great intranet helps to facilitate the flow of information, communication, collaboration and feedback and does it by giving people both powerful tools to
do their tasks and easy communication across silos.
So, give people what they want and what they need and hide the rest.

Two heads are better than one.
Sharing ideas, skills and time in a truly collaborative environment offers
huge value to organisations in terms of economic dividend but also
employee engagement and satisfaction.
According to Deloitte1, when employees collaborate:
● they work 15% faster, on average
● 73% do better work
● 60% are innovative
● 56% are more satisfied
Simplified and organised workplace collaboration means great
teamwork. It can shorten decision-making cycles, increase productivity,
simplify business processes and improve workflows.
And it enables you to transform your employee experience by fostering
open communication across all departments and management, breaking
down communication silos.
