Unlocking Hidden Knowledge with Steegle.One: The Data Iceberg Problem The Employee Intranet Built for Google Workspace
Meta Description: Are your company policies, files, and procedures lost in Drive? Learn how Steegle.One reveals hidden knowledge, accelerates onboarding, and improves the employee experience using Google Sites and Google Workspace.
What’s Really Hiding Below the Surface?
Most knowledge inside an organization is like an iceberg—only a small part is visible.
Visible (above the surface):
Email, chat tools, calendars
Hidden (below the surface):
Onboarding guides
Company policies
Process documentation
Safety protocols
Recognition tools
HR materials
Org charts
Steegle.One brings these hidden resources to the surface—making them accessible, searchable, and actionable
Why Can’t Employees Find What They Need?
In many organizations, essential knowledge exists—but employees can’t find it. Policies, onboarding guides, directories, and procedures are scattered across email threads, shared drives, HR systems, or locked in someone’s head.
This creates a hidden data dilemma: institutional knowledge is present, but not accessible, especially to new or remote employees. As organizations scale, this challenge compounds—impacting productivity, engagement, and onboarding efficiency.
Why Aren’t Traditional Tools Solving the Problem?
Existing tools are typically fragmented and inaccessible, especially for new employees or remote workers.
Common issues:
Separate logins for HR and recognition systems
Google Drive structures that are unclear or inconsistent
Lack of a central place to communicate policies and culture
No visual org chart or staff directory integration
Real Example: Recognition That Goes Unseen
One client used a high-quality third-party award system—but employees had to log in separately, so most never used it.
With Steegle.One, kudos and shout-outs are embedded directly in the intranet homepage, removing barriers and improving visibility.
