Webinar Summary
In 2017, Shive-Hattery’s employee survey turned up an actionable insight: Employees were beginning to feel disconnected from their colleagues due to geographical barriers. Firm leadership saw an opportunity to use Shive-Hattery’s intranet, SHare, to reconnect the offices and help fulfill the firm’s One Firm Vision.
Today, all seven offices are sharing news and announcements on SHare, and 30-60% of employees read 1+ office news post weekly.
In this recorded webinar, you’ll learn how Shive-Hattery:
Created a shared vision for change
Supported change agents with analytics
Incorporated change into firm culture
If you only have a few minutes, we recommend jumping to two highlights: Example Posts that Demonstrate a Range of Office Cultures (6:22) and Communicate the Vision for Buy-In (19:53).
