This year's winners span a range of industries and organization sizes, each demonstrating what a well-built intranet can achieve:

Best Intranet for Engagement: RICK

The Nest transformed from a static archive into a dynamic staff hub. Homepage traffic jumped from 6,400 to over 61,000 unique monthly views, and content ownership expanded from one administrator to more than 50 editors.

Best Intranet for Impact: Western State Bank

The Vault centralized fragmented systems into a single digital workplace. Internal communication scores rose from 6.32 to 7.32, and employee frustration around finding resources dropped 17%.

Best Intranet for Design: New York State Office of Cannabis Management

STASH earned first place for a disciplined teal-and-gold design system applied consistently across all content levels, complete with a staff-sourced name, cannabis-themed navigation, and mascot Sprout McScout.

“The Best Intranet Awards are really my favorite time of the year! Our customers show us time and again what an intranet can be when it’s treated as more than just a place to post policies," said Carolien Dekeersmaeker, Director of Customer Success at ThoughtFarmer. "It becomes the center of how people work day-to-day, how they connect, and find each other. The bar keeps getting higher, and this year’s winners raised it again."
