Virgin Group has integrated Workvivo to connect 60,000 employees and leaders across 40 Virgin companies.
Employees will be able to receive communications directly from leadership and each other and enjoy increased social connections within the company.
The “Virgin Family” Workvivo platform was also designed with a focus on brand to boost brand knowledge.
Nikki Humphrey, Chief People Officer at the Virgin Group, spoke about some of Workvivo’s benefits it is enjoying: “We’re delighted to have partnered with Workvivo to create Virgin Family and connect our 60,000 colleagues across the globe.
“Having connection and collaboration opportunities at our fingertips, really has brought our people closer together.
“Not only that, but it’s helping us to drive an extraordinary people experience where people can develop, connect with like-minded colleagues across the world, and personalise the platform according to their interests.”
Benefits of Workvivo
Workvivo set out some of the benefits Virgin is gaining by using its platform, which include increased social connections and engagement, an emphasis on brand and culture, improved connectivity with the leadership, and internal groups and micro-communities to provide various themed communication channels called ‘Spaces’.
Through the new Workvivo-powered platform, Virgin employees will be able to access company news, shout-outs from colleagues, community spaces, and insights into Virgin companies around the world.
According to Workvivo, its solution will give all Virgin employees a voice, whether they work in a leadership role, as a pilot on a plane or chef on a ship.
A Digital Home
Included within the platform are spaces that help to make it like a “digital home” for employees.
Using a ‘Cookie Jar’, employees can access treats and discounts on Virgin experiences.
Through a ‘Purpose Playground’, Virgin’s mission of “changing business for good” is expounded with stories from around the organisation that reflect this mission.
A ‘Collaboration Station’ encourages collaboration, allowing employees to share ideas and connect with colleagues.
