Virtual Aon office

Aon is an international leading global professional services firm (50.000 employees in 120 countries) providing a broad range of risk, retirement and health solutions. So how do (new) employees become acquainted with the Aon organization in the Netherlands, especially in the present COVID landscape? And how do we provide insights to employees into what each business line actually does? In addition, where can they easily find practical information, such as registering visitors? Of course, we have an intranet, but it is an Aon global intranet, so for the Dutch employees it is a challenge to quickly find the right country information. Furthermore, working from home due to COVID resulted in new employees not having introduction meetings. Onboarding is at present only an online introduction meeting with our CEO.  

Therefore the communication objective is twofold; aim to connect employees with Aon NL, give them an overview of all business lines, our values and easy access to practical information. And onboard them in an innovative and appealing way.

Meet our own virtual Aon office, where among others all business lines are present and our CEO tells the stories about Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, our values and history. With our vendor Micrio we built an ultra resolution storytelling platform which recreates the experience of casually browsing an Aon office with a multimedia guide. Employees can wander at their own pace, zoom in on specified markers to get more information (text, infographic or video). Special focus was on the content; for instance all business lines are presented in the same way in text, video or as an infographic. In this way the content meets the needs of the target groups and creates a seamless experience. For the new employees we created an introduction tour through the office. In their first week they get an invitation for this online tour. The outcome ratio is a 100% for this onboarding tour. With this storytelling platform we add an innovative approach to realize Aon’s internal & onboarding communication objectives. The result is not only highly effective and sustainable but also creative and enjoyable.
