Employee Engagement — Power your Bottom Line

The impact of a disengaged workforce can be staggering when it comes to productivity and profitability. In fact, new research shows that as many as 67% of your employees may be less than fully engaged — and the average company loses $2,246 per disengaged employee every year. Engaged employees are not only 57% more effective; they’re also 87% less likely to leave your company.

Interact Intranet: Custom Location Directory

One of the most widely used applications on our intranet has been a custom developed location finder to help our employees find addresses of our 250 locations.  We recently migrated to Interact Intranet and developed a new custom location finder which queries against location and personnel information from within the database. 

The out of the box people directory can displays location information if you configure it, but it takes a few extra steps to get to the data. We plan to offer both the People Director and Location Directory to our users through homepage widgets and the Applications menu from our top navigation.




If you have a location finder on your intranet I'd love to know what features you've built into it, and any suggestions you might have so we can make ours even better thanks!

Screenshot 2: Click on the "View Staff" link from the first screenshot displays a list of everyone that works in the office you selected.

Interact Intranet: Active Directory account synchronization

Synchronization of Active Directory accounts can be a bit tricky so hopefully this chart comes in handy for some customers.  This relates to version 5.1.5 and might not apply to future releases.
