National Grid demo a living, breathing intranet at Gartner summit
When National Grid set out on a mission to transform employee experience with a new intranet, the events of 2020 were yet to unfold. Now, more than six months post-launch, GRID:Home is empowering more than 20k people to work in new, more efficient, and collaborative ways - saving the equivalent of 140 days across the business weekly. Discover how a major energy company is empowering its people with an audience-focused intranet.
From infonet to intranet with a living, breathing platform
Growth is at the heart of National Grid's intranet strategy. While the enterprise's legacy solution had turned into a "content graveyard", GRID:Home prioritizes ongoing evolution. In fact, National Grid's program team chose "Grow and evolve" as the project's tagline to illustrate that their new intranet was not a stagnant offering, but rather a living, breathing platform that would continue to get better over time.
It has been less than a year since launch and GRID:Home has already made good on this promise. The intranet surpassed 1m searches within its first 6 months, with many users noting that they're able to find the answers they are looking for with just a few clicks. In addition to keeping key knowledge at employees' fingertips, GRID:Home has further enhanced productivity by helping users reduce the time they spend on daily tasks. With employees noting a time savings of 30 minutes weekly, National Grid's laser-focus on creating an evolving intranet software has given 140 days back into the business, every single week.
