Case Study: International Rescue Committee achieves higher global employee engagement with Interact Software via a video-powered intranet

As a globally dispersed organization, the IRC relies on Interact to host vital information and share engaging content to drive engagement

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) relies on Interact’s RescueNet intranet to connect its 13,000+ employees across 40+ countries. With staff dispersed globally and the average employee receiving 121 emails per day, IRC needed a way to cut through the noise and surface vital announcements and engaging content more effectively.

Using Interact’s RescueNet, IRC made video the core of its internal communications—embedding videos from a hidden YouTube channel (to avoid regional restrictions), integrating clips into blogs, and publishing HQ huddle recaps, leadership updates and time‑stamped segments. Interact’s solution produced a dramatic rise in video-driven content and engagement (about ten blogs weekly with increasing video integration), secured leadership buy‑in, and helped IRC reach and engage its 13,000 staff more effectively.
