Case Study: Red River Mutual unites offices and boosts employee engagement with Jostle Corporation

Red River Mutual unites offices and culture with a new intranet

Red River Mutual, a regional insurance company, found that a geographically dispersed workforce was hurting employee engagement: staff in different offices, on the road, or working from home had few daily touchpoints, meaningful connections were rare, and celebrations of achievements were infrequent or after the fact. Leadership identified this gap as a barrier to collaboration and company culture.

They rebuilt their intranet, Staff Central, on the Jostle platform and ran a focused three-phase launch campaign—Anticipate, Welcome & Engage, and Embrace—mixing launch events, incentives, and staff-curated content to drive adoption. The result: broad use across all levels (including senior leaders), richer informal communication without inbox overload, regular recognition, and stronger connections between offices that reinforced a unified company culture.
