How do you connect employees digitally? Find out at the National Online Connection Congress!

Digital communication within organizations is more versatile than ever. In addition to the intranet, tools such as WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and Outlook are widely used. But how do you use these resources smartly? And more importantly: how do you ensure a real connection with your employees?

On April 8, 2025 we share our insights during the National Congress Online Connection:

De Jong en Laan

On behalf of Embrace, Danya Bessembinder from accounting and consulting firm De Jong & Laan explains how Embrace's social intranet is used to increase connection and engagement within the organization. De Jong & Laan has more than 20 branches throughout the Netherlands and almost 1000 employees.

At De Jong & Laan, they noticed that internal communication was often mixed up. That's why they've drawn up a clear policy: what do you put on the intranet and what belongs in Teams or other applications? And where exactly do you work together?

During this session, you will discover:

  • How they use the intranet
  • How they motivate colleagues to connect more
  • How to introduce employees to the intranet and make it really work by collaborating in the right channels and applications
  • How the theme of 'connection' is becoming increasingly important on the intranet in a growing organization

In addition, at Embrace, we show you why a social intranet is not an 'extra' communication tool, but rather the connecting factor that provides overview, cooperation and control.
