Challenge
- IDP needed to better understand their people’s preferences – when and how they wanted to read the information shared with them.
- Without internal communications analytics, it was difficult to know whether key messages were being read or even received by IDP’s global team and whether those communications truly resonated.
“We didn’t know if the communications that we were sending were being delivered, being read, and being used.”
- IDP’s Digital Adoption team searched for software that would support them to communicate and engage with employees around the world.
Solution
- IDP needed a solution that would support teams to understand the impact of their internal communications.
- With a small global communications team, it was also crucial that the solution would support content creation and design elements of internal communications.
- The Digital Adoption Team sought out a tool that could serve as a virtual employee engagement assistant, helping them pinpoint engagement issues and inform their internal communications strategy going forward.
- With ContactMonkey, the team found a solution that provided invaluable analytics alongside design features that enabled them to act on the insights.
