Recently we added the Blog Module to our LS Intranet Internal Corporate Portal. So that our Customers' Employees whose opinions and expertise are important for corporate culture promotion get a personal communication platform that allows Users to collect feedback such as reactions (emojis) and comments.

It is obvious to us that blogs are becoming an increasingly important tool for communication not only externally, but also internally within the Enterprise. They are an opportunity to share information about the Company's achievements, report on corporate events, and suggest and comment on articles that might be useful for Colleagues. As well as to publish interviews and personal stories of Employees. As for us, it is now difficult to imagine a corporate portal without this.

At Lizard Soft, we share in our blogs, in particular, the stories of our Employees from the first days of the large-scale invasion of russians. These were tragic moments when many of our Colleagues found themselves in a zone of fierce fighting, surrounded by the enemy or under occupation. Often without mobile and Internet connections. We anxiously awaited at least some news from some, arranged the evacuation of others at all costs, and got infinitely happy when the Lizards finally let us know that they were safe. It was very inspiring.

Blogs became a way to document and preserve these important stories. To show the resilience and unity of our Team in times of hardship. Each publication was not only a statement of facts and feelings, but also a symbol of support and solidarity. This helped us all get through these difficult days.

Another example is more about business: a large Agricultural Company decided to radically change its corporate culture to move forward to the European style of doing business goal. Therefore, the CEO regularly posts a blog in which he shares his vision and thoughts on the crucial matters of the company's life. This blog has become an important tool for communicating with the Company's Employees. Indeed, in times of change, it is essential to understand the strategic goals of the Company well. And an atmosphere of openness and trust is a must-have for any modern business. Thus, the mentioned Company was able not only to implement the planned changes in its corporate culture but also to increase the level of involvement and motivation of Employees.

The blog functionality in LS Intranet works as follows: in the portal's HTML editor interface, your selected Employees create texts using all modern tools including AI-powered ones. So, without leaving the same interface and literally in a few clicks, they can generate images, rewrite or translate the text into the selected languages, integrate links to certain online resources, etc. That means they don't need to be a communication specialist to create their own high-quality blog.

Once posted, the material becomes available for reading by all Portal Users. Readers can react to it with emojis and leave comments. This is how the main goal of this functionality – creating a dynamic environment for communication, where everyone can express their opinion and be heard – is achieved.

In short, the new blog functionality in the LS Intranet Internal Corporate Portal is one more tool for internal communication, without which modern business – with its trendy openness and people-centricity – can hardly be imagined. This is not only about exchanging information. It is also about boosting corporate culture. Indeed, this way Companies stay in touch with their Employees, keep their involvement, and an atmosphere of openness and cooperation. This is especially appreciated in times of change.
