Digital Intranet - Synergy Marine Group

The Challenge
Synergy Marine Group's workforce operates across vessels, shore offices and offshore locations. Company communication was not consistently reaching teams across those environments, while policies, operational information and resources were spread across different systems. The existing intranet also suffered from low adoption because it was dated and lacked relevance to employees' day-to-day work.
Objectives
- Create a single communication and information hub.
- Improve employee engagement and intranet adoption.
- Deliver a modern branded experience.
- Support onshore, offshore and mobile users.
- Make organisational information easier to access and govern.
What Athen Built
Athen built a modern digital intranet on SharePoint, creating a centralised environment for company news, leadership communication, organisational information and employee engagement.
How It Works

A single home for company updates, announcements and leadership messaging.
Structured Information Architecture

Why It Matters
A digital workplace only creates value when people actually use it. Athen focused not just on building an intranet, but on creating an employee experience people could rely on every day.
