From Reception to Facilities, from Finance to the Board of Directors: there are at least seven distinct groups of workers in each organization. Of course, your intranet or digital workplace should serve everyone. But which groups could (or should) benefit from the intranet more than others? What communication, support and collaboration requirements do these groups have? And how do you make sure your intranet isn't cluttered with outdated content, making it impossible for employees to find material? This presentation will help you find out what employees need from their intranets and digital workplaces to best support their day to day work.
