"Throughout COVID, like many others McCarthy Stone had to adapt its internal communications and engagement strategy to embrace new approaches, technologies, and channels. Following the initial lockdown period, we needed to bring our teams together more than ever to remind them of the difference they had made to older people’s lives throughout 2020, and how their hard work had protected the health and wellbeing of our 20,000+ homeowners. We have worked with Corporate Events for many years, and it was fantastic that they had been able to make the switch to virtual events so seamlessly during COVID and support us in engaging our 2,600 employees through an online event. The event planning was extremely well supported as always, and once on-site, with all safety measures in place, the team were able to provide an extremely professional service and guided us through the new landscape of virtual events step-by-step! They supported our presenters, who had to learn to present to an empty room and worked with our IT teams to make sure that the technology was ready to go. Although we are once again embracing live events going forward, broadcastings to ALL employees live using the Corporate Events studio is something that we will continue to do as it has proved so popular – and also cost effective!”
