HIVE intranet is a success

July saw the launch of the new Christie intranet HIVE.

We’ve received really positive feedback about HIVE and we’d like to thank all staff members for their support and patience during the launch period. Make the most of HIVE by checking out its enhanced search. Head to the top right of HIVE to search for people, documents, pages and calendar events in one place. It also searches users’ bios. If you add a nickname, interests or achievements into your bio, they will show up in search results. And if you want your colleagues to see your blogs or pages, tag them in. You can do this by typing the ‘@’ symbol before their name anywhere on HIVE. Head to HIVE and click on the banner to find out what else you can do on the intranet.

If you have any questions about HIVE, please email the digital team at web@christie.nhs.uk
