One of the biggest frustrations at work is having to hunt down important information. It's not an easy task in today's workplace.
Go links were designed to address these exact problems.
Let's explore what go links are, how they work, their history, and their benefits.
Go links are short, human-readable URLs designed to simplify the sharing and accessing of company resources. Unlike traditional URLs that can be long and complex, go links are easy to remember and type into a browser's address bar. For example, instead of sharing a lengthy URL like https://company.com/departments/hr/onboarding, a go link might be simply go/onboarding.
In simple terms, they work by redirecting users from a short, memorable URL to a longer, more complex one.
