Background
MDA Space is an international space mission partner and leads the industry in robotics, satellite systems, and geo-intelligence. Vision2Voice was hired to help implement a modern internal communications platform to transform how employees create, share, and interact with news and information during a period of significant growth and change.
Staffbase was chosen as the vendor, and our internal communications agency was entrusted with supporting the implementation. With our expertise and collaborative approach, the project met all objectives and delivered exceptional results.
The Challenge
The organization was struggling with disconnected internal communications that failed to meet the evolving needs of employees. Information was scattered, employee engagement was low, and there were limited opportunities for knowledge-sharing and cross-functional exploration. This impacted productivity and contributed to a siloed workplace culture. The overall goal was to create a dynamic user-centric communication platform tailored to the real needs of employees.
The Solution
Vision2Voice worked with the Staffbase and MDA Space teams to build a dynamic, accessible, and modern intranet. The starting point was a strategy that ensured the new platform would strengthen culture and support engagement across the company.The approach was rooted in employee needs and aligned with MDA Space’s strategic priorities, ensuring that content was inclusive, engaging, and enhanced employee awareness and alignment with organizational goals.
The result is a dynamic, user-centric platform that continues to break adoption records. 1MDA connects employees, improves information flow, and fosters a more collaborative, informed, and unified culture.
