Many organizations deploy SharePoint as a central hub for internal communication, knowledge, and collaboration. But in practice, most intranets are underused and often completely ignored by the people they’re built for. This low usage isn’t just a nuisance, it’s a strategic failure.
The Problem: Why Employees Don’t Use the Intranet
Despite best intentions, intranets often become overwhelming, outdated, or irrelevant. Employees describe them as hard to navigate, difficult to search, or lacking meaningful interaction.
Key stats underscore the issue:
- 57% of employees say they struggle to find the information they need on their intranet.
- Up to 80% of content is never accessed again after being published (Gartner).
- Low adoption often results in disengaged teams, redundant communication, and missed compliance milestones.
Why Intranet Engagement Is Critical
Organizations rely on their intranet to:
- Centralize knowledge and resources
- Improve internal communication
- Facilitate onboarding and training
- Promote a sense of community and culture
- Drive Microsoft 365 adoption across departments.
When your intranet is ignored, so is everything it’s meant to support.

Technical Foundations: Built for Modern SharePoint Environments
The prediction game is designed using SharePoint Framework (SPFx) and built for scalability, security, and ease of use:
- Modern React-based front end
- Microsoft 365 authentication compliance
- Supports tenant-wide deployment via app catalog
- Works with both classic and modern SharePoint pages.
Because it’s deployed inside your Microsoft environment, there are no third-party systems, no user tracking, and no data risks.
The Impact of a Loved Intranet
When employees actually enjoy using the intranet, the benefits are measurable:
- Faster knowledge access and reduced dependency on email
- Higher compliance with internal training or policy updates
- Improved team morale and cross-departmental connection
- Stronger employee experience, especially in hybrid and distributed teams.
The key is creating moments of participation, not just passive reading.
Use Cases for Custom SharePoint Engagement Tools
Beyond the Euro 2025 game, Rocketta can build custom engagement experiences that live inside SharePoint. Here are just a few examples:
Policy Awareness Quizzes
Push out mandatory training in small, interactive modules that employees complete within the intranet automatically tracked.
Onboarding Challenges
Turn the first-week experience into a guided mission, where new hires explore the intranet, complete essential steps, and track progress.
Sales or KPI Trackers
Gamify sales or service metrics by showing real-time team performance dashboard right on the homepage.
DEI and Sustainability Campaigns
Drive participation in internal programs with opt-in challenges, progress meters, and friendly competition.
Knowledge Contribution Leaderboards
Encourage wiki adoption and contribution with a leaderboard showing top contributors across teams or regions.
All solutions are 100% Microsoft 365-native and fully customizable.
Conclusion: The Intranet Works When People Want to Use It
Whether you’re managing operations, HR, internal communications, or IT, your success depends on how well your teams access and act on internal knowledge.
A static intranet fails. An engaging, interactive, and employee-centered intranet delivers real value.
Rocketta helps companies transform their intranet from a passive platform into an active part of company culture with tools that are easy to deploy, easy to use, and surprisingly effective.
