Case Study: Sherwoods achieves 100% engagement across its dispersed workforce with Reward Gateway's Team Talk recognition and communications platform

Building services uses recognition and communications platform helps company engage 100% of largely isolated workforce

Sherwoods, a building services firm of 50 employees working across five locations, needed a recognition and communications solution to engage a largely isolated workforce and reinforce company values. Partnering with Reward Gateway, Sherwoods deployed the Team Talk employee engagement platform to provide branded peer-to-peer recognition, a company news blog, and anytime access to employee discounts, pay slips, and annual leave booking.

Reward Gateway implemented a fully customized Team Talk experience—tailoring eCards to Sherwoods’ values and promoting relevant retailers and instant discounts—which drove 100% engagement, 947 eCards sent, and £78,000 spent through discounts (saving employees £7,800 collectively). Reward Gateway’s platform became part of daily routine for Sherwoods and contributed to the company winning Employer of the Year at the South Devon Business Awards.
