Vice President, Corporate Training Officer

More than a place to find documents

At Western State Bank and Bonvenu Bank, the intranet is much more than a place to store documents. It’s where employees find answers, celebrate each other, and even help shape company decisions.

Sarah Waller and Julie Ashbaugh share how their intranets lifted internal communication scores to an all-time high and drove a 65% jump in employee shout-outs.

What you’ll take away

  • How to give frontline employees a voice: How Western State Bank used an intranet discussion to help leadership decide on a new customer product
  • How to make answers easy to find: How Bonvenu Bank cut down on “Where do I find…?” questions by putting documents and updates in one place employees actually use
  • How to connect teams across distance: How both intranets keep employees connected across branches miles apart, with photos, shout-outs, and contests
