You've just been asked to help your organization build and manage an employee portal. More and more, that's the ask of the marketing team at healthcare organizations.
Why choose us for your employee portal?
As a complement to our website services, the Coffey team builds employee portals for hospitals and healthcare systems. An employee portal is an internal website where your workforce can easily access information and resources internal departments often provide. Here are some of the features you can expect when you choose a Coffey employee portal:
A streamlined user experience. Just because it isn't a consumer-facing website doesn't mean your employee portal shouldn't look great and be easy to navigate. Picture this:
- All the content items will be displayed in sections so that employees can easily find what they're looking for.
- Just like your main website, your employee portal will have its own navigation and site search.
- Your employee portal can look and feel similar to your main website or have its own style to differentiate it for your employees.
Built with security in mind. IP address restriction is one option for managing employee access. It limits people and devices on your hospital's network, meaning employees can only log on to the portal when they are at a specific location, as defined by a specific IP address.
Easy to use. Coffey's employee portals work within Site Assist, our content management system (CMS) made just for healthcare organizations. Coffey's clients love using Site Assist to update content on their external websites, finding it a very intuitive CMS to work in.
Flexible features! Another way Site Assist makes work easier for you: It has modules that integrate seamlessly to make your employee portal more robust. These include a Calendar, News Release Center and Form Builder.
One of Coffey's clients used the Form Builder in their portal to offer a way for employees to make work requests and contact other hospital departments. Other clients like to feature internal events via the Calendar module.
A variety of ways for employees to connect. Types of content you can put on an employee portal that Coffey builds for you include:
- Event calendars.
- Policy documents.
- Staff directories.
- Training materials.
- Cafeteria menus.
- Employee announcements and other organization news.
- Staff recognition and awards.
- Leadership team blogs.
- Employee, corporate and patient care resources.
- Links to external platforms and websites that employees may need to access.
