The Igloo cloud-based digital workspace takes intranets to the next level, bringing together corporate knowledge, people and resources to solve business challenges and build a strong corporate culture.
"Employee communication is the biggest challenge faced by most companies, particularly as the world's workforces become increasingly fragmented," says Alex Pryor, EOH partner manager for Igloo. "Growing numbers of remote and telecommuters means businesses are facing an uphill battle in terms of employee engagement and communication."
In addition, changing priorities and expectations among millennials and emerging Gen Z employees indicates that enterprises must innovate in terms of employee engagement.
Pryor says: "The Intranet has evolved from bulletin boards and rudimentary HR requests, to include employee collaboration, communication, knowledge management and employee engagement. This is why EOH decided to partner with Igloo to bring to South African enterprises a solution focused on improving the employee experience and ultimately increasing employee productivity, encouraging innovation and giving organisations a competitive advantage. The solution is a good fit to enable innovation in the African market and move forward to support digital transformation journeys."
EOH is able to tailor Igloo's cloud-based service to help local enterprises ensure that all team members have seamless access to the policies, procedures and knowledge bases they require to operate effectively, all via their cellphones.
Pryor says: "We have been using Igloo in our own business for just over a year and it's fantastic to see a workspace that staff are engaging with, it's not just a corporate news stream - everything from company events to specific departmental spaces allow for greater connectivity, knowledge sharing and team work."
