We realised that a centralised web-based tool was the only way to achieve this and work began. The first version was targeted at meeting our talent management ambitions. As we used the system more, we increasingly benefited from an all-access web-based tool to drive collaboration and engagement across our employee base. Over the past few years, we’ve introduced tranches of additional functionality which bring the same benefits to managing various other aspects of our business. Most recently enterprise social networking was introduced. Every day we see dozens of “global watercooler moments” which facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing across our business.
