Case Study: Argyll Community Housing Association improves communication and culture with StaffCircle

Improving communication and culture with employee intranet software

Argyll Community Housing Association, a charitable housing provider supporting more than 5,000 homes across 11 islands in Argyll and Bute, needed a better way to communicate with a dispersed workforce. With no existing intranet, the team relied on mass emails and video calls, struggled to reach off-site and mobile employees, and wanted a more collaborative, engaging internal communications channel. StaffCircle provided the employee intranet software to help centralize communications and improve accessibility.

StaffCircle implemented multiple intranet newsfeeds for company-wide, department, and site-level updates, along with document management, social features, surveys, and pinned announcements. This gave Argyll Community Housing Association a more inclusive and interactive platform for feedback, knowledge sharing, and culture-building, while also reducing reliance on external engagement surveys and enabling real-time insight into employee sentiment. The result was improved teamwork, better visibility of important information, and a more connected, fun workplace culture.
