About The Customer
ING is a Dutch multinational banking and financial services corporation with a significant global presence. The company operates in 26 countries and employs approximately 56,000 people. ING offers a wide range of services, including retail and wholesale banking, investment banking, asset management, and insurance. The company is known for its focus on innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric solutions. With a strong commitment to enhancing employee experience and engagement, ING has been proactive in adopting digital tools and platforms to foster a positive work environment and improve internal and external communications.
The Challenge
ING, a Dutch multinational banking and financial services giant, faced the challenge of effectively disseminating positive content about the company’s products, webinars, planning tools, and employee experiences across its global workforce. The need for a unified platform became more pressing as online audiences grew more eager for trustworthy news, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company sought a solution that would not only centralize this information but also encourage employees to share it on social media, thereby boosting external communications and social advocacy. Additionally, ING wanted to track and analyze employee engagement to refine their content strategy and maximize the platform's impact.
The Solution
To address these challenges, ING partnered with Firstup to develop and support the ING Share It platform. This platform serves as a centralized hub where employees can find and share positive content about the company. The content includes information from public domains and third parties, typically posted by ING on social media platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, allowing employees to access it anytime, anywhere, on both mobile and desktop devices. To encourage participation, ING Share It incorporates a gamification component that rewards employees for their engagement activities, such as likes, comments, and shares. This gamification element includes points that can be redeemed for useful prizes, fostering a sense of competition and community among employees. The platform also features analytics programs from Firstup to track adoption, viewership, and audience engagement, helping ING refine its content strategy and boost external communications.
Operational Impact
  • The ING Share It platform has become an easy way for employees to find relevant content from the public domain and third parties in one place and share it.
  • The platform has significantly boosted external communications and social advocacy by providing a centralized hub for approved content.
  • Employees appreciate the platform for its trustworthiness and ease of use, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when the demand for reliable news increased.
  • The gamification component has successfully encouraged employee participation, with local employees earning points for their engagement activities and competing on leaderboards.
  • The platform's analytics programs have provided valuable insights into user behavior, helping ING refine its content strategy and maximize the platform's impact.
Quantitative Benefit
  • The platform generated more than 19 million extra impressions in 2020 alone.
  • Approximately 8,000 employees have joined the platform, with the number expected to climb significantly as the global rollout continues.
  • The platform is now positioned for a global rollout to the 26 countries in which ING operates.
