Solution

Results

With this campaign, intranet traffic increased 286 percent, with the move site generating nearly 60 percent of all traffic.

Leadership and employees alike have embraced the new workplace guidelines – which serve as the foundation for McKesson facilities nationwide – positively impacting morale and culture. McKesson has become an example for the Richmond business community and other companies going through similar changes.
