The Challenge

LDR Medical, a global innovator in Cervical and Spinal devices, faced the challenge of building a cohesive corporate culture across its offices in France, America, China, and Brazil. The company highly values its employees and their work-life balance, celebrating their successes and investing heavily in corporate events. They also frequently relocate employees and have many traveling to meet with teams in other offices. The challenge was to create a communication hub that could deliver on all these fronts, fostering a sense of unity and engagement among employees spread across different countries.

The Solution

Clarity, a company known for building custom portals, was brought in to design and build an employee portal for LDR Medical. The portal was almost entirely custom-built and included a global events calendar, a Facebook-style information feed, a stock ticker to monitor the company's IPO, multiple company directories, an Employee of the Month spotlight, floor plans for every office, company surveys, and galleries of company events. It also had department sections for HR, IT, Legal, Marketing, Accounting, and more. Additionally, Clarity integrated an Employee Recognition platform into the portal. Each quarter, every employee is given points to allocate or 'award' another employee for outstanding service. The points are reported in a feed along with a testimonial about the award, and a store has company swag, gifts, electronics, and pizza parties where the employees can redeem their points.

The custom-built employee portal by Clarity has significantly improved communication and engagement among LDR Medical's global workforce. The portal's features, such as the global events calendar, Facebook-style information feed, and Employee of the Month spotlight, have fostered a sense of unity and camaraderie among employees. The Employee Recognition platform has also been a success, allowing employees to recognize and reward each other's outstanding service. The portal has also made it easier for employees to navigate the company's various offices and find their counterparts in different countries. Overall, the portal has played a crucial role in building a cohesive corporate culture at LDR Medical.
