Re-imagining Remote Work for a Fortune 1000 Company

CASE STUDY | ENTPERPRISE COMPANIES

Employee engagement discovery and ideation to support enterprise's transition to a distributed workforce

Adaptiv and its Principals led an employee engagement study with a 2.2B Fortune 1000 client. The client, beginning its broader shift to a distributed workforce, sought specifically to better understand the needs of their existing remote and distributed workforce as it related to DEI, daily productivity and technology resources, collaboration, learning and development, relationship with peers, inclusion and, ultimately, retention.

The 6-month project included countless one-to-one interviews, observations, analysis and benchmarking, small-group sessions with executives and various other diverse stakeholders, and employee surveys and workshops to clearly establish problem-set and prescribe various solutions. Also looked at how gamification could play a role in employee programming and retention.

Findings and recommendation from this study were instrumental and used nearly in whole by the client to design the look, features, functionality, and structure of their first-ever internal employee digital platform.
