Crayola reimagines employee engagement with a Unily intranet

Crayola upgrades employee experience with Unily

Unily, a leading enterprise digital workplace provider, is proud to announce a partnership with Crayola, the worldwide leader in children's creative expression products, to launch a next-generation intranet and digital signage solution, complete with mobile app.

Crayola will use Unily’s award-winning digital workplace platform to optimize internal communications with a powerful intranet solution that will connect desk-workers and frontline manufacturing employees alike.

The enterprise’s new intranet will serve as the home for Crayola’s impassioned culture, delivering rich communications, translated into four languages, to a 2,000-strong international workforce. As well as streamlining internal communications, the new solution will act as a launchpad to the digital workplace, providing every employee with access to the knowledge, resources and business systems they need to perform their roles from anywhere.

Connecting head office and frontline with digital signage 

The digital signage solution will connect employees based in Crayola’s Pennsylvania manufacturing facilities with internal communications, providing a connection to the company culture, activities, and business information for traditionally ‘hard-to-reach' employees.

Crayola, who previously utilized an electronic bulletin board system before moving to a digital signage service provider, can finally take this process in-house. Due to Unily’s vast configuration abilities, Crayola’s new platform will simultaneously satisfy digital signage needs while serving as a full-functioning intranet, leading to a savings in both cost and time. The solution will also house video updates, important information about new products, and a designated Conversations section to drive collaboration and connectivity.

“We chose Unily as our intranet provider because we knew they would be able to help us create a unique, easy to use platform that utilized Office365 to help us manage our content. Unily’s implementation team has been top-notch and their customer service has been very responsive. Employees love the look and feel of our new intranet, it is easy to navigate, and it has quickly become the first place our employees turn to for company communication and information,” says Orville Trout, SVP, Human Resources, Corporate Affairs and Administration said of the partnership.

Unily was selected as the chosen provider on account of its extensive experience delivering best-in-class intranet solutions to the world’s most loved brands, including Shell, L’Oreal, and British Airways.

“We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such an iconic brand that shares our own commitment to inspiration and innovation. We look forward to helping the organization usher in a new era of creativity by improving the delivery of rich communications to every employee and supporting the employee experience of an iconic American brand,” says Glen Chambers, Unily’s Senior Vice President of Sales.
