Atlas kickstarts Places Leisure's digital transformation
Key
highlights
Smooth digital transformation
Successful adoption of Microsoft 365 and support for new ways of working.
Empowered employees
Quick access to critical information on any device which empowers people to make decisions and respond quickly.
Improved employee experience
2,400 regular users - 40% of total users who visit more than 15 times in a 30-day period – and motivated, engaged employees.
Places for People Leisure required a communications platform for everyone to connect and share information and knowledge regardless of their working patterns or roles.
From their lifeguards and personal trainers to their finance, marketing teams and CEO, PfP needed a place where collaborative working flourished and essential information flows – enabling colleagues to work more effectively on doing what they love.
Instead of one-way communication, Places for Leisure wanted to provide their employees with a voice and ensure they felt listened to – especially as they are the experts and the ears on the ground within their communities. Having a platform accessible to all means their people can be more responsive to customers, getting people more active more often.
Goal
To enhance the organisation's broader digital transformation strategy by including every employee and enabling the successful adoption of Microsoft 365.
Project
By simplifying knowledge sharing, collaboration and communication, Atlas creates a sense of community and enables a culture of empowered employees who are engaged in the business’ success.
Results
A smooth digital transformation that has created a culture of engaged, motivated employees who are empowered to make decisions and be more responsive to customers' needs.

"[Prior to Atlas] email was our de-facto way of sending information which left us with no visibility whether important information was being received or engaged with.”
