Employee intranet
What we build

Employee
intranet

Internal communication for a workforce that is not all in one building.

An employee intranet for a distributed pharmaceutical workforce: internal communication, document access and team resources built for people across field, office and lab roles who rarely sit at the same desk.

What an employee
intranet includes

What it involves

Pharmaceutical companies typically have field teams, lab staff, office employees and affiliates in different countries, none of whom experience internal communication the same way. An intranet built only for office desk use underserves most of that workforce.

What we deliver

Internal communication and news, document access organised by team and role, mobile access for field and distributed staff, and integration with your existing internal systems (HR, document management).

Built to house your existing processes

Document approval workflows and HR processes stay exactly as your teams already run them — we build the platform those processes and documents live in and are accessed through, integrated with the internal systems you already rely on.

Intranets by workforce type
Who needs it

What an intranet has to
support by workforce

What matters most differs by who is actually using it daily. An employee intranet starts there.

Build process
Four stages

How we build an
employee intranet

Four stages. An employee intranet is built for the whole workforce, not just desk-based staff.

WORKFORCE MAPPING
01
01

Who actually needs to use this, and how

We map the distinct groups within your workforce — field, lab, office, affiliate — and what each genuinely needs from the intranet.

What we map

We map the distinct segments within your workforce — field, lab, office, affiliate — how and on what device each group actually accesses systems, and what content or documents each genuinely needs, rather than designing around the office-based segment alone.

Result

The design reflects the entire workforce, including field and lab staff who are often left out when an intranet is designed primarily around a desk-based, office segment.

ARCHITECTURE
02
02

Structured for findability, not just news

We architect the intranet around actual document and resource findability, since most intranets fail on search and structure rather than on visual design.

What we define

We define the content and document structure, a permission model that reflects team and role rather than a single flat access level, and navigation built specifically for finding a known document quickly, not just browsing news updates.

Result

People come back to the intranet specifically to find a document or a resource, which is a genuinely different usage pattern from skimming a news feed once and never returning.

BUILD
03
03

Mobile-first, connected to existing systems

We build with mobile access as a first-class requirement given how much of the workforce is field-based, and connect to existing HR and document systems rather than duplicating them.

What we build

We build the intranet platform with mobile access treated as a first-class requirement given how much of a pharmaceutical workforce is field-based, and integrate it with the HR and document systems already in place rather than duplicating them.

Result

Field staff can use the intranet as readily from a phone as office staff can from a desktop, instead of the mobile experience being an afterthought bolted on later.

LAUNCH
04
04

Adopted, not just deployed

We support the launch with attention to actual adoption across the different workforce segments, since a technically successful launch that nobody uses has not achieved anything.

What we handle

We handle launch, train each workforce segment specifically rather than running one generic training session, and monitor actual usage after launch to catch early on if any particular group is not adopting the new intranet.

Result

The intranet gets genuinely used across the whole workforce, because adoption was actively tracked and addressed after launch rather than assumed once the system was technically live.

Employee intranet questions

What comes up when scoping an internal platform.

Can field staff use this on mobile?

Yes, mobile access is built as a core requirement rather than an afterthought. A large share of a typical pharmaceutical workforce, such as field-based sales representatives and medical science liaisons, is not desk-based, so navigation, search, and document access are designed to work fully on a phone, rather than a scaled-down version of desktop.

Can this connect to our HR system?

Yes, integrating with your HR system is typically part of the build. See website integrations for how we connect the intranet to systems your HR and IT teams already use, so employee directories, org charts, and permissions stay in sync rather than being maintained twice.

Do you manage document approval workflows?

No, we build the platform those workflows and documents live in. The approval processes themselves, including who signs off on a policy or SOP before it publishes, sit with your existing internal governance; we configure the intranet to support whatever approval chain your organisation already follows.

Can affiliates see local content alongside global?

Yes, structuring global and local content clearly in one place is a common and central requirement for multi-market intranets. An affiliate employee typically sees corporate-wide policies and news alongside their own market’s local announcements and documents, with permissions controlling exactly which local sections each affiliate can view or edit.

Other things we build

Other pharmaceutical platforms we build

An intranet often sits alongside these other builds.
