Case Study: Greater Iowa Credit Union achieves increased employee engagement and streamlined HR processes with Intranet Connections

Sneak Peak Inside Greater Iowa’s Intranet

Greater Iowa Credit Union turned to Intranet Connections' intranet platform to solve a common internal-communication challenge: how to engage 90 employees across six branches, streamline training and requests, and strengthen work/life balance and recognition. Director of Staff Development Peggy Wurster needed a single, user-friendly site for announcements, profiles, e-forms and staff-driven content to improve onboarding, cross‑department visibility and everyday collaboration.

Using Intranet Connections, Peggy deployed e-forms for training requests, job-shadow applications and employee recognition, plus profile photos, announcement areas and a “Did You Know” section. The result was high intranet adoption, increased participation in job‑shadowing (helping employees find new roles), stronger peer recognition with regular gift‑card draws, lively member announcements and positive survey feedback—demonstrating measurable improvements in engagement and internal communication across the credit union.
