Get ready to roll out Everway for Work
Successfully installing Everway for Work is just the beginning. Organizations that see the strongest adoption actively build awareness, encourage exploration, and help employees understand how the software can support them in their everyday work.
Follow the steps below and use the supporting resources and templates to increase engagement, encourage adoption, and get more from your investment.
1. Announce Everway for Work
Start with a clear introduction to your organization.
Send an organization-wide email explaining:
- Why your organization has invested in Everway for Work
- Who it helps and how it can support different ways of working
- How employees can get started using the product
2. Host a demo day
Give employees dedicated time to explore Everway for Work and see how it can support them in their everyday work.
Ask your IT, Assistive Technology or Accessibility team to run a demo session. They can introduce the software, show key features and answer employee questions. You can support them by helping to promote the session and encourage employees to take part.
A demo could be:
- A live in-person session
- A recorded product demo
- An online lunch-and-learn
Share these resources with the team running your demo to help them get started.
3. Build Everway for Work into employee onboarding
Include Everway for Work as part of every new starter's journey. Providing immediate, discreet access means employees don't need to request support before benefiting from the software.
Use the materials above to share information about Everway for Work, and add details on how they can access the software and who they can reach out to for support.
Provide new employees with:
- Information about Everway for Work
- Details on how they can access the software
- Information about who they can contact for support
Making the software part of onboarding helps employees discover it early and supports continued adoption.
"We realised early on that making the software part of the induction process was important. In fact, it's a key part of our success story. New recruits are introduced to it during induction events and within their personal onboarding programme. We've been noticing the benefits ever since.” - Estella Dorrian, Equality Manager, Belfast Health & Social Care Trust
4. Keep Everway for Work visible
Regular visibility can help maintain awareness and encourage continued use across your organization. One of our customers increased active users from 70 to more than 1,400 simply by running an internal awareness campaign.
Use the available materials across your workplace and digital channels.
In the office
Place these Everway for Work flyers on notice boards, in communal areas, or around meeting spaces.
Remote working
Use these Everyway for Work digital graphic cards across your online chat spaces, intranet or internal newsletters to spread the word and promote usage.
5. Host monthly drop-in sessions
Work with your IT, Assistive Technology or Accessibility team to offer regular drop-in sessions where employees and managers can ask questions, explore features and build confidence using Everway for Work.
Sessions can be held in person or online and could include:
- Feature demonstrations
- One-to-one support
- Feature updates
- Tips for getting more from Everway for Work
HR / DEI leaders and team members can help promote these sessions across the organization and encourage employees to take part.
6. Appoint change champions
Every successful rollout benefits from enthusiastic advocates. Identify employees who may like the opportunity to become a Change Champion. These colleagues can help others discover new features, answer questions and encourage adoption throughout the organization.
They don't need to be technical experts, they simply help colleagues feel confident exploring the software.
Change Champions can:
- Help colleagues discover features
- Answer questions
- Encourage adoption
Share their experience across the organization
7. Engage Employee Resource Groups
Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) can help build awareness and encourage colleagues to explore Everway for Work.
Ask your Change Champions or your IT, Assistive Technology or Accessibility team to:
- Attend ERG meetings
- Demonstrate the software
- Encourage and answer questions
- Share experiences and examples of how the software can help
“ERGs are key in the process because individuals within the ERGs will share their own experiences with tools that work well for them. Read&Write is consistently brought up in our neurodiversity community as something that may be helpful. Many people in the group will guide others to the EY app store to download the software.” - Kevin Grogg, Assistive Technologies Service Owner at Ernst & Young
