Measuring intranet indicators by responsible area helps move beyond generic metrics like "visits" and understand whether the platform is solving real problems.
A corporate intranet involves HR, Communication, IT, Operations, Legal, Quality, and leadership. Each area needs indicators aligned with its responsibility.
Initial KPI matrix
| Area | Recommended indicators |
|---|---|
| Communication | reach, reading by audience, campaign engagement, pending critical announcements |
| HR | service access, onboarding completion, frequent questions, employee portal usage |
| IT | availability, device access, related tickets, integrations working |
| Operations | reading by unit, access to procedures, training completed, questions reduced |
| Quality | reviewed documents, current versions, read confirmation for rules |
| Legal/Compliance | policy acknowledgment, audit trails, permissions reviewed |
This matrix avoids charging every area for the same number.
Adoption indicators
Adoption shows whether people use the intranet:
- active users;
- return access;
- access by unit;
- mobile usage;
- access by profile;
- time to find content.
But adoption alone does not prove value. A platform can have high access because people cannot find what they need.
Content quality indicators
Monitor searches with no result, expired documents, pages with no owner, content with no access, negative feedback, and duplicate documents.
These indicators reveal the health of governance.
Critical communication indicators
For mandatory content, track reading rate, acknowledgment rate, pending items by audience, time to completion, accepted version, and repeated delays by unit.
This group is essential for safety, compliance, quality, and internal policy topics.
How to use the matrix
- Choose a few indicators by area.
- Define an owner for each metric.
- Review monthly at the beginning.
- Connect numbers to concrete actions.
- Remove metrics that do not drive decisions.
A good indicator is one that changes a decision.
