Employee engagement is more and more crucial as we live in the current business world; it is an important part of building a productive and joyous workplace culture. Besides, it is not just required for the health of employees, but also important for the company’s success. Worker engagement portals make creating a good worker engagement an easy task with the advent of technology.
About the Client
The client was a business organization in India trying to increase employee engagement and satisfaction in the workplace. The former company wanted to add a level of satisfaction and commitment that employees would have for their job and the feeling of how important to them within the organization. Engaged employees tend to stay longer with the company; they are not only looking to stay, but they are continuously achieving and innovating towards the company’s success.
Project Overview
The project involved building an Employee Engagement Portal through which employees would be able to participate in various activities, across programs and other activities that would enhance job satisfaction, wellness and collaboration. Here the client wanted a complete web application with image, text, video feeds, social media integration, event management, surveys, short stories, innovations, employee mood indicator, internal job applications and references, etc..

Our Best Solution
The Employee Engagement Portal was developed by a team of five individuals (three developers, one Scrum Master, and one Project Manager) from a pool of over a dozen individuals. The Web application was built using C# programming language and we used ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server, Web API, .NET Framework and REST APIs. For hosting the application we used Azure server and CrashLytics for crash reporting and MSTest for unit test. MS SQL Server was used to design the database.
- The event management feature helped with creating, scheduling, inviting participants and awarding winners of numerous events.
- The survey tab also helped employees share their opinion on both workplace issues and the working environment.
- An employee mood indicator helped management understands the employees’ mood simultaneously.
- Employees could apply for and refer other employees for work within the organization, through internal job applications and references.
Technologies we used to do this.
C#, ASP.NET MVC, Web API, SQL Server (.NET Framework)
Our Hardwork Mounted & this Is How It Paid Off!
The portal was deployed and the customer liked it. Improved engagement and satisfaction for employees within the workplace, this also motivated and made employees more productive. Management also used the portal to learn about what employees need and what concerns they are raising so that they could key in on those and make their work environment a much more positive, productive place to be.
Using our C# programming, ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server, and other skills we were able to deliver the required Employee Engagement Portal, according to the client’s requirements. Features and features of the portal ranging from different personalized aspects of employee engagement to ways of a more efficient work environment.
So why your company requires an Employee Engagement Portal?
A great point where an Employee Engagement portal can come into play in an organization’s strategy is around attraction and retention in terms of pulling in top talent and having them be engaged as employees and also helping create a culture of engagement and performance. An Employee Engagement Portal is pertinent now and in the future too. Right now, in this present, where most organizations are Hybrid OR Remote, an Employee Engagement portal offers you a central Communication, Collaboration and Recognition platform. Sometimes it can also help employees to stay connected to company culture and values.
As the workforce increasingly becomes distributed and more diverse, in the future the Employee Engagement portal will become an important tool to help reinforce that sense of community among employees. But it can also help companies manage their talent better, enable innovation, help with employee development and growth.
