Looking for ways to make your company intranet more useful and engaging? For small businesses, a well-organized intranet can improve communication, boost team morale, and save time by centralizing key information — and it doesn’t have to be expensive or complex.
Even a shared Google Site, Notion page, or Slack channel can serve as your intranet if it’s updated regularly and easy to access.
Here are 15 realistic and easy-to-implement intranet content ideas tailored for small business:
Keep your team in the loop with short updates about what’s happening in the business. New client wins, team changes, product updates, or policy changes — a simple news section helps everyone stay aligned.
Tip: Keep it short and visual. A photo or short video message from leadership can go a long way.
Introduce one employee at a time with a brief post highlighting who they are, what they do, and a fun fact or two. It helps humanize the team and builds connection — especially in hybrid or remote setups.
Want input on lunch options, team-building ideas, or even a new tool you’re considering? Use quick polls to gather opinions and involve your team in small decisions.
Create a space where employees can publicly recognize each other’s hard work. Whether it’s a job well done or someone who went the extra mile, giving recognition boosts morale.
Collect frequently used tools, documents, and links (like time-off forms, brand guidelines, or HR contacts) in one place. Keep it tidy and organized by category so employees can find what they need quickly.
Share occasional messages from company leaders — written or in short video format — to talk about business goals, values, or achievements. This builds transparency and a sense of purpose.
If you’re growing, let your current team know first when new roles or freelance needs pop up. Internal mobility is a great way to retain talent.
Even small businesses have events — whether it’s birthdays, team outings, or training sessions. Use a simple calendar tool to keep everyone informed and involved.
Encourage employees to share their favorite tools, time-saving hacks, or ways they stay focused. This kind of peer learning can be incredibly valuable.
Share free online courses, webinars, or tutorials relevant to your team’s work. Highlighting opportunities for personal and professional growth shows that you care about development.
Create a space with wellness content: meditation apps, short stretching videos, or stress management tips. Promote a healthy work-life balance, even if your team is small.
When someone joins the team, introduce them via a quick post with their photo, role, and a few fun facts. It makes onboarding more personal and welcoming.
Organize light-hearted team activities like a step-count challenge, themed photo contests, or trivia quizzes. They’re simple, fun, and can strengthen team spirit.
Give employees a way to share feedback anonymously or openly. You can use a form or a dedicated feedback page — just make sure you occasionally act on the ideas.
Whether it’s finishing a tough project or hitting a sales milestone, celebrate it! Post a quick note of thanks or a team photo — recognition matters, no matter the size of the business.
