How Vodafone won a Digital Workplace of the Year award


As runner-up in the Digital Workplace of the Year 2017 Awards, Vodafone has come a long way since embarking on its digital journey in 2008. Sharon Doherty and Robert Leeson explain how the company has joined forces across the board to provide “a total experience for its employees”; expand on some of the initiatives that most impressed the judges; and discuss what they believe has been key to Vodafone’s success.

“If we’re to be a world-class employer, we need to be thinking not just about the physical environment that employees experience, but also the digital environment, in a much more joined-up way.”

– Sharon Doherty, Vodafone

Vodafone, runner-up in the Digital Workplace of the Year 2017 Awards, talks to Paul Miller about the company and the people behind the Award entry in this episode of Digital Workplace Impact.

When Vodafone set out on its digital journey in 2008, the main objective was to “get things moving”. Since then, the business has grown through acquisition; undertaken multiple technology integrations; gone paperless; and won an award for its advanced digital workplace, with the judges impressed by the clear business rationale, employee focus and strategic-level governance.
