About
Marks & Spencer (M&S) India embarked on a digital transformation of its internal HR system by introducing a new Human Resource Information System (HRIS). While the backend infrastructure evolved, the platform retained its familiar name: MyHR. The challenge was clear – to drive internal adoption through strategic communication while ensuring minimal disruption and maximum engagement.

From Concept to Reality
  1. MyHR Mascot Development- The MyHR communication strategy centered on creating a friendly mascot to represent the new HR system. This involved exploring different names and looks for the mascot before it was used in all communication materials as a welcoming symbol of the system updates.

  2. Multi-Format Content Creation-M&S India employed a multi-faceted visual communication strategy to introduce their new HR system to employees. This included branded introductory and how-to videos, supplemented by emails and posters highlighting the system’s benefits and engaging reminder images.

  3. Change Management Communication Strategy- The change management communication strategy for the new MyHR system involved three phases: an awareness phase using teasers and the mascot, an adoption phase providing educational content and guides, and a reinforcement phase maintaining engagement through updates and support.
