Hybrid work has opened up a new realm of possibilities for workers. Along with the many benefits, it has also fundamentally altered the relationship between staff and leadership. The workplace is more geographically dispersed—some might even say fractured—with employees working from the office, from home, and on the road, in different cities, and sometimes even different continents.

As a recent Gallup Study points out, leaders must rethink their approach to people management if they want to retain their workforce and keep teams engaged, all the while ensuring productivity and the bottom line.

There are many variables at play when it comes to the new math of modern work. But a critical element in getting the equation right involves technology. And the right technology that can make sure teams are connected and supported no matter where they may be working.
Internal communications technology like your company's enterprise intranet can restore order in the potential chaos of remote hybrid operations. 

Many companies are choosing to invest in a modern intranet solution because it serves as a digital HQ, enabling communication and building a sense of community across dispersed teams. It helps people get work done and connect, no matter if they work at the office, on the road, across the country, or around the globe. 
It lets employers address elements that are important to employees, like company culture, while simultaneously improving productivity with powerful AI-based tools and training capabilities.
 

How an AI-powered intranet can increase team alignment.

When your intranet is set up like a digital HQ, all employees can easily find company resources and important announcements, so everyone is on the same page when it comes to meeting strategic imperatives and initiatives. The result is positive outcomes that boost both employee engagement and business agility.
