KEYNOTE: Transforming the Intranet to shape the digital Employee Experience
Presentation from Intranets2017
About my talk
In this session Thomas Maeder will show the continuous evolution of Swisscom’s Intranet towards a modern employee portal. Swisscom’s employee portal acts as a central digital hub for employee communication and dialogue, for day-to-day work and collaboration, as well as for the exchange of knowledge and learning. In 2016 Swisscom’s employee portal was a winner of the Step Two Intranet and Digital Workplace awards. You will get hands-on insights into:
- Vision, purpose & journey
- Creating a simple, modern user experience
- Make it work for mobile devices
- Measure progress and establish a continuous improvement process
