Here are 8 effective ways to measure your intranet’s impact, along with some suggested KPIs:

UNDERSTAND HOW EMPLOYEES INTERACT WITH THE INTRANET

Track Intranet Engagement Metrics

Frequent and meaningful usage is a key indicator of intranet success. Monitor how often employees log in, what content they view, and which actions they take. Identifying patterns in user behavior helps pinpoint what’s working and where improvements are needed.

Example KPIs: Track average number of sessions per user including time and actions. Monitor Active Readers and Active Contributors and compare results with targets. 

EVALUATE IMPACT OF INTRANET CONTENT

Measure Intranet Content Performance

High-quality intranet content should be easy to find, frequently accessed, and fully consumed. Monitor page visits, average time on page, and content completion rates to understand what content resonates with your audience. 

Example KPIs: Monitor page visits and average time on page, content completion, and most/least viewed pages. 

MESSAGES REACHING AND ENGAGING EMPLOYEES

Assess Internal Communication Effectiveness

Strong communication is a key driver of employee engagement and alignment. Measure the reach and engagement of news, updates, and announcements within specific target groups to assess the effectiveness of your internal communication strategy.

Example KPIs: Monitor reach within intended target audience and interactions as reactions, comments, or shares.

USE SURVEYS AND FEEDBACK TO UNDERSTAND USER VOICE

Gather Employee Feedback on the Intranet

Quantitative metrics offer insights, but employee feedback provides valuable context. Use pulse surveys, feedback channels, and suggestion boxes to gather input on what employees value and where they see room for improvement.

Example KPIs: Monitor number of improvement suggestions received, percentage of positive feedback, and survey results and response rates.

EVALUATE HOW THE INTRANET SUPPORTS DAILY TASKS

Analyze the Intranet's Impact on Productivity

Your intranet should enable employees to work smarter. Track the use of forms, self-service tools, and apps to assess how the intranet contributes to streamlining workflows and saving time.

Example KPIs: Monitor number of self-service transactions, usage of daily work tools, and use surveys to estimate time saved on routine tasks.

CONNECT INTRANET ACTIVITY TO BROADER GOALS

Link Intranet Usage to Business Outcomes

Demonstrate the value of your intranet by tying usage to measurable business outcomes. For example, improved content findability may reduce time spent searching for documents, boosting productivity and reducing support queries.

Example KPIs: Monitor time to locate key information and use search analytics and search feedback to study search efficiency. Monitor increase in self-service transactions or reduction in support tickets.

ENSURE USER-FRIENDLINESS AND ADOPTION

Monitor Intranet Usability and Adoption Rates

Evaluate how different teams and departments are using the intranet. Analyze user journeys, heatmaps, and navigation behavior to identify friction points and areas for UX improvements.

Example KPIs: Monitor adoption per user type, department, location, or similar. Study click maps and navigation paths to understand user journeys and patterns.

USE LONGITUDINAL STUDIES TO IDENTIFY TRENDS AND IMPACT

Track Intranet Performance Over Time

Regular performance tracking helps you understand how the intranet evolves and supports continuous improvement. Analyze key metrics over time to identify trends, assess the impact of changes, and guide your intranet strategy.

Example KPIs: Calculate the average satisfaction score from employee surveys conducted at regular intervals and monitor year-over-year engagement trends.
