About The Richards Group
The Richards Group is a family-owned independent insurance, employee benefits, and financial services firm founded in 1867. While they have certainly grown since then, their commitment to exceptional service and creative protection solutions remains the cornerstone of their business model. Their team of roughly 148 insurance professionals now serves more than 20,000 clients located throughout Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts.
The Solution
The Richards Group leveraged Aerie's Intranet Starter Kit to ensure a new Intranet was both compelling for employees, and scalable for the Information Technology team.
The Starter Kit includes a foundational set of guidance to ensure an Intranet is configured and deployed with Microsoft's best practices in mind. It allowed The Richards Group to take on project tasks suited to them while outsourcing the more complex technical work required to roll out an Intranet. Aerie's work laid the foundation for The Richards Group to own and manage the Intranet in a sustainable way that engages employees to connect with one another and gain visibility into what's happening across the business.
Sharing news and social content among the whole Richards Group workforce built a new degree of togetherness across departments and offices.
“The social connections our employees made from our new Aerie Intranet meant the site's return on investment literally happened on day one.”
