These were some of the findings which came up in a survey conducted by McKinsey, Gallup, Forrester etc. across the industry. Based on these surveys, a dipstick survey was done at Dr. Reddy's which too came up with similar findings.   To address these challenges, we revamped our intranet portal, iHub, with two clear objectives in mind -- increasing personal and team productivity. Two powerful apps, My Tasks and My Contacts were launched. The My Tasks app collects all the tasks from various initiatives so that an employee can better plan their day and enhance their productivity. The My Contacts app lets an employee connect with important colleagues and convert plan into instant action. Cutting away the clutter, iHub delivers the most relevant news, to employees' homepage which makes them more aware about the things happening in the industry and helps them react faster to change. The portal also showcases best practices adopted by teams across the organisation to inform and inspire other teams to embrace the same. The portal has been equipped with video capabilities and employees can access videos posted by the leadership team and get strategic direction.
