The aim is to use active employer branding with existing and potential employees to position BKW as an attractive place to work – reason enough to completely realign its internal communications media as well. Linkgroup was charged with the conceptual development, design and production of the staff magazine as well as with optimising UI/UX and redesigning the intranet. BKW will soon be launching further measures within the framework of its communications strategy.
