A look inside Heartbeat: The Best Overall Intranet of 2023
CVS Health bought home the gold for their strategically designed employee experience platform, but how did they manage to scoop the top prize, and what does their platform look like?
CVS Health’s acquisition of Aetna was the biggest health care merger in U.S. history. As an important part of the integration work that followed, the company was faced with the challenge of replacing two large legacy intranet sites with a single digital platform for 300k employees.
The enterprise sought to create a unified digital workplace that would address the unique needs of employees from diverse lines of business, helping to demystify a complex organizational structure and align all colleagues against the purpose and culture of the company. Recognizing Unily’s experience partnering with complex, global organizations to unify workforces, CVS health chose to partner with Unily to bring their digital employee experience vision to life.
The new platform, Heartbeat, is designed to connect CVS’s diverse workforce with everything they need to succeed at work, be that company communications, internal knowledge, subject experts or productivity apps and tools. The platform leverages Unily’s targeting and personalization features to deliver a relevant experience to every employee, surfacing the news, information and resources they need to do their best work.
Heartbeat’s homepage provides a personalized “My News” section, along with “Featured Stories” that keep employees informed about important news from the company and their line of business. Colleagues can further personalize their experience by subscribing to preferred topics and authors, as well as saving their most-used apps as favorites for quick access from their homepage.
The platform is also helping to build a unified culture through native social capabilities that allow employees from across the company to engage in shared dialogue. A People Directory enhances collaboration by allowing employees to search for colleagues by name, skill, department or location. Detailed People Profiles ensure that every colleague has a digital identity, helping colleagues get to know each other and make new connections.
Platform metrics prove that Heartbeat has become an essential tool for enhancing the employee experience for all CVS Health employees. Employees are showing their appreciation for the new platform, with comments on featured stories increasing by 85% in year one and overall adoption growing by 90%.
"Heartbeat has already proved to be hitting the goals we originally outlined for it. It is helping build a culture of trust, transparency, and positivity across the organization, and has become a central tool for colleagues to use daily."
"CVS Health set themselves apart from an outstanding field of entrants. Their work was exceptional and displayed their innovative strategies for achieving success. Congratulations, CVS Health. We look forward to your continued success."
