Sun River Health
The challenge
1500+ distributed employees, without a reliable channel for news and updates
Without an intranet in place, communications across the group is done via email and phone. These outdated methods needed to be replaced by a modern communication solution that is informative, timely, helpful, and engaging for staff.
Segmented departments confounding document sharing
With no centralized store of documents, it meant that there were document duplications across departments, outdated information being used, and the time taken to transfer documents was taking up valuable time for staff.
The solution
Modern internal communication platform
A modern intranet solution was essential for employees to get timely information, across all sites and departments.
The must-haves for the new CentricMinds intranet implementation were the ability to share:
- News articles
- Awareness of initiatives across the organization
- Alerts
- Important announcements
- Other corporate information
Geared towards employee engagement
With investment in a new Intranet software platform, Sun River Health needed to ensure that employees will use the platform. A social feed keeps people involved, with posts they can like, share, and follow.
A team directory allows staff across all sites and levels of the organization to find and connect with each other easily.
Document management system
A centralized document management system was the key to replacing an outdated, untraceable ‘paper’ trail system. With a modern document management system, staff with permission can easily find the right documents across sites, update and browse version histories, see who has edited documents, etc.
The document management system is organized by function so that documents for Employee Resources, Patient Care & Engagement Information, Marketing and Communications Documents & Media, etc. are clearly sectioned and easily searchable.
Workspaces for collaboration
Workspaces are a digital space where people can come together to work on a specific project or initiative.
Workspaces allow group members to:
- Run and manage a project
- Share files and collaborate on documents
- Assign and track tasks
- Have one on one or group discussions about the project/initiative
The results
Successfully modernized communication
Daily updates shared across sites, backed up by employee engagement statistics in the form of contributions, likes, and comments.
Centralized information sharing
The Sun River Health intranet is now the key source of content when it comes to document storage, knowledge sharing and core communications within the organization.
Digital incorporated into company culture
In an industry that is typically slow to digitize, Sun River Health have implemented an ongoing initiative to ensure use of Workspaces (now including Tasks for individuals and groups and roll out of Forms). This helps employees become comfortable and experienced in working with new digital systems, essential for the future. The results of the initiative show positive feedback with employees throughout all levels of the organization.
