A series of mergers left Cabinetworks Group struggling to define its culture and identity. Seeking to motivate its newly combined workforce, the company took a talent brand approach — holding workshops for employees to reflect on their jobs and perspectives. These revealed talented craftspeople passionate about quality, as well as other insights that would help both differentiate and improve the employee experience. And a key insight rose to the top: Cabinetworks’ own employees were the ones bringing kitchens to life daily with their hands-on work. Putting these craftspeople at the heart of the employer brand promise would give them ownership and motivate them as the embodiment of Cabinetworks’ reason for being.
With Cabinetworks’ newly defined Brand Promise and EVP in hand, we crafted a launch and ongoing comms plan focused on three human-centered goals: boost awareness and understanding of the new Cabinetworks identity, enhance employee involvement and foster advocacy. Our strategy? A year-long, 360-degree program blending events, tactics, and activities to embed a new culture across all facilities. Hitting on seven key activation strategies, our multi-channel approach aimed to make every employee a champion for authentically living the brand.
