Find out why Lead Healthcare chose Speakap's employee engagement platform over Yammer to boost communication, engagement, and create a stronger sense of community across their dispersed workforce.

About Lead Healthcare

Lead Healthcare is a leading outsourcing company for healthcare professionals, employing doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and assistants across various locations. With a central HQ of around 60 people, they serve the critical needs of healthcare organizations while navigating the complexities of a geographically dispersed team.

The Challenge:

How to create a strong sense of connection and community among employees spread across locations?

With employees spread across multiple locations, Lead Healthcare faced a big challenge: how do you create a sense of community when your team is scattered? Their annual Employee Satisfaction Survey revealed a gap in internal communication—employees often felt out of the loop and disconnected. Not great for engagement or morale, right?

“From our yearly Employee Satisfaction Survey we learned that our internal communication needed to be improved. The more connected they feel to Lead Healthcare, the longer they will stay in our employment.”

Eline Hamelijnck, Marketing Manager at Lead Healthcare

Recognizing the importance of a connected workforce, Lead Healthcare's leadership knew they needed a solution to bridge the physical gap and create a more connected team.

Their previous solution? Yammer. But it wasn’t cutting it. This lack of usability hampered adoption and failed to create a central hub for fostering connection. 

“We used to work with Yammer, but that was insufficient for our entire organization and not user friendly.”

Eline Hamelijnck, Marketing Manager at Lead Healthcare

 

The (real) Solution:

Lead Healthcare needed something better, and they found their answer in Speakap

After researching the other available options, Lead Healthcare chose Speakap's employee engagement platform. It’s a user-friendly platform that is designed to bridge the gap between locations and create a sense of unity. Speakap was chosen to create a central place for employees to connect, share updates, and feel like part of the team, no matter where they were working.

Moreover, the platform's intuitive interface makes it easy for everyone to participate, fostering a more inclusive communication culture.

A more connected & engaged team

Lead Healthcare’s marketing team got creative and made it fun, launching contests and raffles to get people talking and engaged on Speakap. The result? Employees started to love it. They found Speakap not just helpful, but essential for staying in the loop.

While they’re still working to get full participation from everyone, Lead Healthcare is already seeing positive signs. Their next steps? Keeping the momentum going with even more engaging content. With Speakap’s intuitive platform and the right strategy, they’re on the path to a happier, more engaged workforce.
