Case Study: Woodland Trust achieves 90%+ employee participation and vibrant internal communication with Jostle Corporation

Vibrant internal communication takes root at Woodland Trust

Woodland Trust is a UK conservation charity managing over 1,000 woodlands with roughly 450–460 staff spread across six offices and many home-based roles. They needed an internal communication tool that would connect a dispersed, passionate workforce; their previous SharePoint intranet (“Twig”) was one-way, hard to navigate and left staff feeling isolated and unheard.

Woodland Trust implemented Jostle’s People Engagement intranet — a low‑tech, easy-to-manage platform launched with guides and a staff campaign — to enable two-way conversations, CEO updates and peer-driven news. Since rollout engagement has soared (about 81% weekly and 94% monthly participation; consistently over 90% across a 28-day cycle), with growing employee contributions, better onboarding, tangible sustainability changes (100% renewable power at HQ, plans for electric vehicles) and stronger company-wide alignment for their 10-year strategy.
