At Big Lots, a major obstacle to an aligned, innovative culture was one-way email communication that failed to reach 75% of their workforce. By implementing a modern communication platform called “The Beat,” they opened multidirectional channels for all 35,000 associates to share feedback, ideas and recognition.
The results were game-changing:
- 9,000 more associates reached than before
- 51% increase in post engagement year-over-year
- $10M+ saved/reinvested from employee ideas
