At this learning event we will look at a range of topics to help you better engage with your employees, volunteers and key stakeholders. By presenting case studies and thought leading pieces we will identify the innovative new channels, tools and techniques charities are using to engage and inspire people.
This event has particular relevance for professionals from the Charity sector, however it would certainly not be wasted on Employee Engagement, HR and Internal Comms professionals from all industries who are keen to actively engage a range of stakeholders.

Q&A with industry experts
Practical advice, not just the theory
Business cases to take back to the board

20. The Mary Stevens Hospice
§ Founded in 1991 in Dudley Area
§ Provide high quality care for people living with cancer and other life-limiting illnesses
§ Hospice supports individuals at our 10-bed In-patient Unit or at our Day Therapies Clinic
§ 180 staff including clinical,operational, retail
§ 550 volunteers in-house, retail, fundraising,lottery
§ Care provided free of charge – rely on donations, fundraising and our dedicated staff and
volunteers
21. The Engagement Challenge
Challenges faced by Hospices, shared across the charity sector:
§ Staff and volunteers in disparate, often disconnected locations – communication often
difficult
§ Huge range of roles and specialisms – sharing knowledge and stories consistently a challenge
§ Reliance on dedicated staff and volunteers – they need to feel valued, engaged with and part
of the team
§ Volunteers are often excluded from existing internal intranets due to access rules (e.g.
corporate email needed)
23. Why we wanted to go further…
Needed to build on existing communication processes:
§ Website and eNewsletter is one-way information flow – wanted to offer more
opportunity for interaction
§ Facebook and Twitter offer platforms for general, public facing messages – we wanted
to engage with staff and volunteers in a more targetted and personalised way
§ Wanted to offer a platform that could be accessed on all devices – need to stay in touch
with new opportunities in technology…
§ In 2015:
§ 50% of 55-64 year olds had a smartphone
§ 90% of 16-24 year olds had a smartphone
24. What did we do?
§ After scanning the market Eproductive’s Team product met our specific requirements
§ Eproductive have been working with the charity sector for 15 years with 90 clients
§ Using Team we created myMSH
25. What is myMSH?
§ myMSH is an online platform with individual logins for our staff, trustees and volunteers
§ Allows us to communicate and engage based upon user’s role – content can be targeted
§ As secure, more private content (e.g. sneak peeks and behind the scenes) can be shared
§ Supported on Smartphone, Tablet, PC
§ Message notifications (automated and manual) via app, SMS or email supported
§ We link to existing social websites – not replacing but enhancing existing communications
27. myMSH – So Far…
§ Just over 70% of the system users logged on at least once in the first 3 months
§ Over 50 documents are now accessible to users on myMSH
§ Regular news stories and videos uploaded– over 40 stories and clips
§ Questionnaireafter launch 82% of respondents said communicationhad improved in the
Hospice since launch
28. myMSH – What do our users think?
What would you like to see on myMSH in future?
“More of the same…think video presentations are particularly powerful”
“Fundraising thermometer for our Capital Appeal”
“More information about what’s going on with regards to the trading aspects of MSH”
“More information from Hospice itself”
Any other ways we could improve communication?
“Include volunteers more – give us details about events we can help out with”
“I think the app is a great way to communicate – not sure you could improve on this!!”
