Engaging employees and enhancing employee experience has become a key business priority for enterprises coming out of the pandemic. As we become more reliant on enterprise technology to deliver those experiences to employees, the design and UX of the systems we deploy is of crucial significance.

The Nielsen Norman Group (NN/g) design annual is highly regarded as the most notable showcase of intranet designs, providing prospective buyers and trend-watchers with yearly insights into intranet design innovation.

Baker Hughes

Baker Hughes is a global energy technology company. The Baker Hughes intranet, MyBakerHughes, was launched in April 2020 amid the beginnings of the global pandemic. The challenge forced Baker Hughes to pivot and build an intranet that supported an unprecedented work environment in a historic market downturn. An increasing number of employees were working from home, facing challenging situations, and seeking information on how Baker Hughes was managing as the pandemic was reshaping our world. The success of an intranet is ultimately based on employee adoption rate and usage. During the first 24 hours post-launch, Baker Hughes saw over ten times the average visits than with its previous intranet.

Commonwealth Care Alliance

Commonwealth Care Alliance (CCA) is a not-for-profit, community-based healthcare organization whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of people with significant needs by innovating, coordinating and providing the highest quality, individualized care. Commonwealth Care Alliance's healthcare intranet was developed and implemented as an accessible, intuitive solution to boost employee engagement, foster collaboration and communication, and increase productivity and efficiency. CCA launched the intranet in early 2020, and it proved to be especially valuable to its entire workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The result of the data-driven design process was an intranet that CCA’s workforce received extremely well and even loved. Employees voiced that they did not know an intranet could be “life-changing.” The accolades from employees on the usability of the system and the ability for them to feel more connected to the organization’s mission and to each other made it particularly rewarding for the product team.
