Over the past few years intranets have evolved into one of the most essential tools for collaboration and communication within companies. Discover 7 trends for 2025 in this article and learn how Involv can help you become the intranet expert!
1. Supporting hybrid employees
Hybrid work is becoming an increasingly permanent part of our work culture. That’s why it’s important to support not only your office employees but also those working on-site, such as on construction sites, in healthcare, or in logistics.
A mobile-friendly intranet makes it easy to reach these employees as well. It allows them to access important project updates, schedules, or announcements effortlessly.
How Involv keeps up with the trends:
Reach and engage with your mobile employees, wherever they are, through tools like the Involv Intranet mobile app or Involv Cast, a quick and easy way to display your content on TV screens throughout your organization. On the agenda for 2025 at Involv: upgrading the mobile experience to make it even more intuitive, accessible, and powerful for your non-office employees.
2. More personalization
Every day, we are flooded with notifications, updates, and messages. It’s becoming increasingly time-consuming to find the right information and work productively. A personalized intranet changes this by adapting itself to users’ preferences and needs, showing only what is truly relevant.
How Involv keeps up with the trends:
- Customized content: Your news, documents and notifications, tailored to your team or role.
- Shortcuts: Place the links you use most frequently at the top of your homepage.
- Personalized News Feed: Choose the content that interests you for a customized news feed.
- Notification Preferences: Receive notifications through your preferred channels.
- Multilingual Support: Enjoy support in multiple languages.
3. AI-driven functions
Artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in our daily lives and will be crucial for an intranet that optimally supports employees in 2025. AI-driven personalization goes beyond traditional features, enabling employees to:
- Find relevant information faster: AI automatically provides access to documents, projects and contacts that align with someone’s role, saving time.
- An intranet that adapts: With usage, AI learns what employees need and proactively suggests important documents or notifications.
These features enhance both productivity and employee engagement.
In addition to the personalization AI offers, it can also assist employees and businesses with content creation. It generates relevant content that saves time and ensures consistent quality, uniform style and flawless formatting.

And we’re far from done. There’s much more innovation on the agenda!
4. Strengthening corporate culture
Due to the rise of hybrid work culture, employees may feel less and less connected to their company. Here too, a good intranet can play a crucial role in fostering team engagement and motivation.
So, how can an employee feel more connected to the company?
- Transparent communication: Share important company updates, personal milestones or achieved results through the intranet.
- Chat groups or forums: With these features on your intranet, employees can exchange ideas or get to know each other better.
- Interaction: Allow employees to like, comment or mention colleagues to increase engagement.
- The ideation tool makes sharing new proposals easy.
5. Integrated digital workspaces
In 2025, integrating tools and systems within the intranet will be a key trend. Documents, calendars, and HR systems will come together, making switching between apps unnecessary.
The result is a more efficient, connected workspace that improves productivity and encourages collaboration.
How Involv keeps up with trends:
Involv responds to this by offering extensive integration options with both Microsoft 365 solutions and other third-party applications. Some examples include:
6. Intranet analytics
The analytical features of an intranet are also highly important. They provide organizations with valuable insights and actionable conclusions.
These analytics enable them to make data-driven decisions and improve the experience of their intranet users. The result? An intranet that truly adds value to your employees.
How Involv keeps up with the trends:
Involv provides you with the insights you need to make the most of your intranet through their analytics center. Here you can find, among other things:

7. Datasecurity
More than ever, protecting data is a necessity for businesses. Modern intranets now include a lot of information, such as project plans, internal communications, and confidential documents. With employees accessing this information from anywhere or on various devices, a solid security model is therefore essential.
How Involv keeps up with the trends:
Involv intranet is built on Microsoft 365, which means it automatically benefits from all of Microsoft’s powerful data security protocols. This ensures that company data is protected, and access rights can be easily managed.
By embracing these trends, you not only create a better workplace, but also a more engaged team.
