The Challenge
With the introduction of a new employee benefits platform on the horizon, F5 were looking for
“a fresh approach to get their people re-engaged with their UK employee benefits.”
The current selection of benefits had been in place for a long time and engagement over the years had started to decline. With the new benefits platform scheduled for launch, the challenge of getting people re-engaged and educated about the benefits on offer to them was an exciting one.
F5’s core objective was to re-invent the look and feel of their benefits through a new benefits brand, whilst showcasing the true value of the benefit through a careful blend of education and engagement techniques.
The project
After a holistic review and some minor adjustments to the great range of benefits on offer to F5 employees, we met with key stakeholders to get an in-depth understanding of the culture and people within F5. This gave us a great starting point in which to build our engagement strategy.
3 months prior to the launch of the benefits platform and the opening of the election window, we set about building a strategy with an emphasis on education; helping people understand the benefits on offer to them so they could make informed decisions when their election window opened.
1 new employee benefits brand
Launching a new benefits brand created an excitement around the benefits and the perfect framework to start our educational strategy.
4 interactive webinars and follow-up sessions
As the new benefits platform neared its launch, we then introduced a series of educational webinars and follow up one-to-one sessions to answer more in-depth and circumstantial questions.
Johnson Fleming were the perfect the partner to help us deliver our vision and achieve our goals, and getting over 87% of our people engaging with the new platform exceeded our expectations.
