Summary: Winning intranets were created quickly; and all winners welcomed expertise and assistance from outside agencies.

Each of the 2021 Intranet Design Annual winners , no matter the industry, blazed its own trail for how to support and communicate with employees during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic , with the intranet at the center of these efforts.

One of our 10 Intranet Design Annual winners, Johnson & Johnson, produced a COVID-19 vaccine, an incredible accomplishment. This year the healthcare industry had a second winner, Commonwealth Care Alliance, Inc., which faced its own healthcare-related challenges in striving to support ailing clients and the workers who cared for them.

The utilities-and-natural-resources industry remains the one with the most winners — 36 (18%) since the contest began. This year’s top 10 includes 3 utility winners: Baker Hughes, ConocoPhillips, and Snam S.p.A.
