Generation Digital uses Workplace and Zoom to seamlessly connect a remote workforce.
Our mission is to ‘transform the way business is done by helping organisations adopt new ways of working through cultural and technological changes’. We’ve adopted a digital workplace to give our employees the versatility they need to succeed in a modern environment. This means we’re often not in the same physical space and therefore need a solution to keep everyone connected.

Before implementing Workplace and Zoom we were using a few different communication channels on a day-to-day basis; switching between email, chat platforms and video conferencing to communicate and collaborate internally.
Most of the Generation Digital team work remotely, so we needed a sophisticated solution and process in place to ensure everyone has a voice, regardless of location or job function.
After considering a number of different solutions, we implemented Workplace to act as our centralised platform for collaboration and messaging, and we implemented Zoom for video conferencing and webinars.
Once we implemented both best-of-breed solutions, we saw the benefits almost immediately. Today on Workplace, we have 100% total claimed accounts, 90% weekly active users, 80% weekly mobile users and 80% active chat users.
