TC Energy has launched an intranet for its global workforce. With a multilingual approach and access for frontline employees via the Microsoft Teams app, the intranet aims to be inclusive for all employees. The intranet is feature-rich, using the Go intranet in-a-box product as a base.

Standout areas include an embedded brand portal with a PowerPoint extension, a popular homepage gallery with user-generated contributions, a classified section for employees, and a toolbar with a variety of different options to customise the intranet and change preferences.

Content owners are also well supported through a resource site, a Teams-based community, a series of templates and a content publishing wizard. The intranet is receiving good levels of adoption and engagement with content.
