How the Workspace 365 Hub meets intranet needs

A good intranet helps you improve internal communication, strengthen collaboration and make information accessible to everyone. The Workspace 365 Hub does exactly that, and more. In this article, you’ll discover how The Hub works, what it includes and, most importantly, the value it brings to your organisation.

Intranet or Workspace 365 Hub?

An intranet is traditionally designed as a central place for internal communication. But many intranets are static, fragmented or rarely used. The Workspace 365 Hub takes a different approach. It’s a central space within your digital workplace that fits naturally into how people work.

It’s not just about sharing information, it’s about collaboration, communication and connection, all in one place. And crucially, it’s not a separate platform. It’s fully integrated into your digital workplace, where people already work every day. This gives them access to everything they need: applications, documents, workflows, information and communication – from one central location.

We help you:

• Simplify and target your communication

• Centralise information in one place

• Increase engagement through social interaction

• Support processes without adding extra tools.

Engaged employees, connected teams

With The Hub, you give colleagues one central place where they can find everything that matters: whether they’re at home, in the office or on the move. They stay informed, engaged and connected to the organisation.

You can share information by team, department or location, reducing information overload and ensuring everyone only sees what’s relevant to them. By offering a more personal experience, employees feel more involved and can find what they need more quickly.

Communication that works

Big news? New colleagues? A success story to celebrate? With Announcements in The Hub, you can reach everyone at the right time. Colleagues can also respond or leave a like, turning communication into a conversation.

All information in one place

No more scattered documents, outdated folders or endless searching.
The Knowledge Base keeps the latest versions of policies, processes and instructions in one clear overview. Just search, click and go.

By offering everything centrally, you work more efficiently and reduce the risk of errors.

Bring colleagues together with events

From training sessions to quarterly meetings, the Events feature in The Hub makes organisation simple. You create an event, set registration options and decide who can join. Colleagues can sign up easily, and it’s added straight to their calendar.

This not only increases visibility but also strengthens engagement across your organisation.

From a scattered digital workplace to more connection: The Municipality of Almelo

With rapid growth to over 1,100 employees, the Municipality of Almelo needed more clarity and connection. The organisation chose Workspace 365 to create a central digital workplace that strengthens communication and brings colleagues together.

“We’re very enthusiastic about the digital workplace. We’re happy with what we’ve built so far, and it will only get better,” says Alexis Vroom Gossow, Project Lead for Information & Automation.

Thomas Lucas, Application Administrator, adds: “The power of Workspace 365? Everything you need, in one place. Simple.”

Previously, the organisation relied on separate newsletters and an intranet in Teams. It quickly became unmanageable, news didn’t reach everyone, and finding colleagues was difficult.

Thanks to Workspace 365, Almelo now has one central place where people stay connected, find information easily and collaborate efficiently.

“What’s great about Workspace 365 is how easy it is to move things forward. Everything feels accessible, and the team really thinks along with us. That makes a big difference,” says Alexis Vroom Gossow.
