An employee portal – sometimes called an intranet, enterprise, or employee self-service portal – is a secure site for employees to stay connected to and updated on their organization. They usually require login credentials and contain basic tools employees may need, such as file storage, directories, group calendars, expense reports, and knowledge bases.
Some employee portals also serve as a space for networking and social interaction with other employees, which can be especially important if an organization is spread out across locations or has a hybrid or remote workplace.
