THE BRIEF

Laya healthcare wanted to update the organisation’s current intranet, which was no longer fit for purpose, with a new bespoke platform called Pulse+. With both team member engagement and internal comms capabilities, the new platform was a key feature of laya’s internal communications strategy.

Laya’s objectives for the project were to:

  • Maximise engagement across the organisation
  • Educate team members on how to get the most out of the platform
  • Use the platform to keep all internal stakeholders informed on the implementation of the overarching laya strategy
  • Launch the new platform on June 3rd, with a teaser campaign to run in advance
  • Populate the site with relevant and engaging content ahead of launch day

THE EXECUTION

Content Creation:

Springboard’s content deliverables included:

  • Debrief and strategy session with laya team members
    • A deep dive for Springboard into laya’s organisational structure and internal culture
  • Editorial Workshop
    • A strategic session dedicated to brainstorming, finding tone-of-voice and fleshing out sticky content
  • The ‘Welcome to Pulse+’ explainer video
    • A video highlighting the capabilities of Pulse+ with Director of HR and Team Development Bríd Seymour welcoming laya team members to Pulse+ and explaining its many benefits
