Case Study: Taylor & Francis boosts employee engagement and idea generation with Sideways 6

Taylor & Francis sparks 204 employee ideas in year 1 with Sideways 6

Taylor & Francis, a retail company, faced the challenge of giving every employee a voice. They lacked a formal framework for gathering ideas, relying instead on notepads and spreadsheets. Their goal was to find a seamlessly integrated way to empower their global workforce, encourage collaboration, and drive business advancement from the bottom-up.

The vendor Sideways 6 provided an idea management platform that integrated with Microsoft Teams. With its support, Taylor & Francis launched a program called Ignite, which gathered 204 unique ideas and implemented 24 of them in its first year. The solution achieved 64% engagement within the initial division and empowered employees, leading to the program's expansion to 2,500 global employees with a goal of 40% company-wide engagement.
