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
