Challenge

Employees began to surface communication challenges

 

NEI has grown, becoming more geographically dispersed, with offices across Canada and many remote employees. Connecting employees in three corporate offices and numerous home offices was a challenge. Users were getting burned out on email. Important news was easy to ignore and delete. Communications seemed unilateral, with little two-way dialogue. Departments operated in silos. Relying on shared network drives was a challenge for salespeople trying to find content on the road. Version control was a difficult when many people relied on their email archive to find content. With no platform for collaboration and communication, HR, marketing, finance, and many other teams were answering the same questions over and over.
