This article explains the importance of using digital workplace engagement campaigns to drive employee retention.
Employee engagement is just good business
Previously, we explored the importance of recognizing and overcoming potential change management challenges in your engagement planning within your digital workplace. Building on that approach to engagement, creating an engagement framework can actually help support your business overall. How? Two words—employee retention.

What is a Networked Enterprise and What Can it Do for Your Organization?
The following article was written by Mike Hicks and was originally published to Igloo's corporate blog, Work Rewired.
Today’s organizations are increasingly complex and dispersed, and it’s hard to keep everyone connected and informed. Remote employees, geographically scattered offices, and expanding ecosystems of external partners often result in disengaged employees and information siloes.
Luckily, a fully networked enterprise can overcome this fragmentation and even raise productivity by up to 25 per cent. The term “networked enterprise” – coined by McKinsey – can be misleading, because every company…
This article explains the importance of dealing with the human factors of change management in order to drive employee adoption.
Most organizations deploy a digital workplace (modern intranet) in an effort to drive employee engagement. But, if your employees don't adopt it, your new digital workplace becomes yet another failed corporate initiative. So, how do you get your employees to adopt?
At Igloo, we recommend changing your approach to employee engagement. Stop stressing about technology (features, functions, buttons, and dials) and focus more on the human factor to drive adoption. Figure out what matters most to your…
Multi-Tenancy vs. Single Tenancy: How to Choose for Your Organization
Sean Duffy, Director of Product Management at Igloo explains the differences between multi-tenancy and single tenancy and how to choose the best option for your organization
Enterprise adoption of cloud computing and SaaS (Software as a Service) is accelerating by the day. Worldwide spending on public cloud services and infrastructure is forecast by IDC to reach $210 billion in 2019, an increase of almost 24% over 2018.

To realize the full benefits of the move to the cloud, SaaS products should support your unique business model and compliance requirements. One of the first and…

From Igloo's corporate blog, Work Rewired, Mike Hicks shares three simple ways to measure the effectiveness of your intranet
An intranet can be a bit like an organization’s ‘basement’ – the kind that’s full of spiderwebs yet is home to valuable content that’s not often accessed. That’s not how it should be. An intranet should be a tool that employees rely on to seamlessly share knowledge and collaborate.
Today’s workplaces are more dispersed than ever, with mobile workers predicted to account for nearly one-third of the workforce in the next 10 years. Work-from-home policies are also more common, with 70 percent of…
An article by Kristen Ruttgaizer, Director of Human Resources at Igloo Software, published in Quartz
The option to work remotely is a huge draw for employees today. With commutes averaging nearly half an hour each way in the US, working from the comfort of home, a local coffee shop, or nearby co-working space is a perk now enjoyed by nearly half of the US workforce.
But businesses—which also benefit from flexible remote-work policies by reducing the overhead costs that come with physical office space—are struggling to address the collaboration challenges their remote employees faces.

Technology has changed the definition of the ‘workplace’.
Today, the average worker could have a good stab at a full day’s work from a smartphone on a sunny hillside if they were so inclined— providing that hillside had 3G and their mobile battery didn’t die first.
While that’s not the typical embodiment of ‘remote working’, the demands of global business, a wave of new collaboration tools, and the draw of flexible working conditions— not to mention the growth of the gig…
