All too often, as companies mature, they become segmented into departments with separate silos, creating an unintentionally competitive atmosphere between teams that holds back the collaborative approach and the sharing of knowledge.
Digitalization has the power to burn these barriers to the ground. Jive-powered intranet as a leading digital workplace solution became the weapon of choice to fight company’s internal “dinosaurs”:
Having those “dinos” spotted and transformation goals defined, joint VEON and Linkers team built up intranet implementation strategy mapped to core needs of the business.
To make digital workplace our ubiquitous tool for transformation we started from unifying company’s communications. We literally “killed” separated time-worn intranets of each country, substituting them with single cloud-based intranet solution.
At the same time each country had its own secondary homepage for local news, discussions and collaboration. All such homepages shared similar structure but had unique identity, based on national colors or local brand identity.

One of the pillars of VEON Eurasia’s cultural transformation is gamified employee recognition. We are actively using Jive Rewards out-of-the box capabilities to support that and especially value mobile gamification features in Jive Daily. Employees thank their colleagues for help or acting within one of our values – with a matching badge. We also use quests to motivate people to share inspirational stories around the values, follow news on culture-related topics.
You can probably imagine what a headache it may take to find contacts of the right person in multi-country and multi-brand organization, where no single employee directory exists. VEON Eurasia were among such organizations before introducing their digital workplace. It could take up to several days to find a needed contact on a project, if somebody relevant to the topic was on vacation. After project implementation this mission required up to several minutes.
VEON’s deep transformation encourages ambitious career moves and gives lots of opportunities for that. We aggregate all those opportunities in Eurasian Career center, taking actual vacancies from both group-level and regional recruiters plus via integrations with Lever (applicant tracking system).
