What is the difference between company intranet and internet sites?
Not much, in my opinion. I am sure there are others out there who would disagree with me, but in my opinion and experience, an intranet is just like an internet company site, with a few exceptions/additions: • It has a different voice. By this I mean it speaks to employees, not outsiders. • It has more details, and company specific information that outsiders normally wouldn’t be allowed to have. • It includes internal information. For example, human resources information such as all of the details regarding company benefits. (What they are, how to sign up for them, how to change, how to use them, etc.) But, employees want to know the same things about a company that outsiders want to know, too. • How is the company performing? • Who is who and what is their background; what projects are in the works; and who is working on them? • What is the strategy for next quarter? Next year? And so on. All you really need to do is take the information your PR group and financial department already
