Case Study: Ohio Valley Bank becomes a great place to work with Axero

Ohio Valley Bank engages 300+ employees with Axero

Ohio Valley Bank, a regional bank managing $1 billion in assets, faced challenges with internal communication and employee engagement. Its old intranet only allowed one-way communication, creating information gaps between departments and hindering collaboration. To support its rapid growth and "employees first" people strategy, the bank needed a modern, social platform to unite its 300+ employees across 18 branches and compete with larger institutions. They partnered with vendor Axero to implement its social intranet solution.

Axero's platform, named OVBnet, provided a highly customizable and intuitive social intranet with features like an employee directory, document management, task management, and full social capabilities like commenting and instant messaging. The solution led to a dramatic increase in interaction and engagement. Measurable results included 100% of employees completing their profiles and 17% of users becoming highly active contributors, earning points and badges through gamification. The Axero implementation successfully broke down communication barriers, fostered camaraderie, and became a vital tool for making Ohio Valley Bank a great place to work.
