The community management program of an American multinational energy corporation was not performing optimally. The on-site services were not always top of mind for employees, and the current Community Manager had additional responsibilities that made enhancing the program further a challenge. The organization knew it needed to refresh the program so they could provide a better employee experience for their valued workers and use the benefit to attract new ones.
The Circles solution:

It hired and trained a new Community Manager with industry knowledge and local connections in the community.
