Wright Construction Group Internal Communications Upgrade
The Challenge
As Wright Construction Group continued to grow, employees expressed a desire for stronger internal communication and greater visibility into company news, employee achievements, project milestones, community involvement, and company events. Important accomplishments were happening across the organization, but there wasn't a centralized and engaging way to share those stories.
The Solution
To help strengthen communication and employee engagement, I worked with our marketing team to develop two key internal communication initiatives: Wright's first employee intranet and a quarterly employee newsletter.
While company intranets are traditionally managed by IT, our team recognized an opportunity to create a more engaging employee experience. With IT focused on other priorities, I took the initiative to build and develop the WCG Intranet using Microsoft SharePoint and Power Automate. The platform became a centralized hub for company resources, news, wellness initiatives, employee tools, training resources, and company announcements.
Alongside the intranet, I led the creative direction and design of Wright's quarterly employee newsletter, transforming company updates into a visually engaging publication that highlights employee achievements, project milestones, community involvement, wellness resources, company culture, and internal news.
My Role
As lead designer and art director, I developed the visual concept, cover design, editorial layouts, and overall creative direction for each quarterly edition. I transformed content provided by leadership and departments across the company into an engaging publication that employees would actually want to read.
I also collaborated closely with and mentored our Marketing Coordinator, helping guide the development of recurring content sections including infographics, community involvement highlights, and Wright Wellness 360 features.
The Impact
Together, the intranet and quarterly newsletter created new opportunities to celebrate employee accomplishments, improve communication across teams, and strengthen company culture. These initiatives helped ensure employees felt more connected to the company's successes, events, and the people behind them.
