Intranet 2.0: World Bank Group’s Home for 12k Staff

Youth to Youth (Y2Y) Community celebrates its 15th anniversary with former World Bank Group President David Malpass, 2019.
As an Internal Communications Consultant supporting the World Bank Group’s employee engagement team, I developed the editorial content strategy for WBG’s intranet landing page, using it to embed institutional goals and values across the workforce. I launched staff-wide campaigns that celebrated employee voices, strengthened camaraderie, and increased engagement and traffic to internal resources.

Project

Revamp an intranet homepage that hadn’t been refreshed in 8+ years and lacked usage tracking.
Fix the lack of alignment with organizational priorities and the infrequent content publishing to strengthen trust and connection among 15,000+ staff.
Replace a manual, email-based submission process with a clear standardized workflow.

Built an editorial calendar and playbook; produced staff spotlights, campaign series, and executive updates deepening staff awareness of WBG’s priorities.
Streamlined the submission workflow and trained 200+ contributors on content criteria and best practices.
