Summary · why it matters

Bellway Homes has seen voluntary turnover drop by more than 19% and employee satisfaction rise above 90% in the 12 months following the launch of a mobile-first employee communications platform built on Staffbase. The platform, named Pathway, now reaches 94% of Bellway's roughly 3,000-strong workforce, two-thirds of whom work on construction sites without a desk or corporate email. During a market-moving acquisition rumour, over 1,500 employees read the company's first statement the same evening it was issued, outside working hours, ahead of the media. The platform replaced a legacy SharePoint system holding more than seven million documents and conflicting versions of core policies that employees had stopped trusting. Bellway is already piloting Staffbase's AI podcast tool and testing its AI chatbot, Navigator, to further enhance the digital workplace.
