Thanks for the overview, J***e. Could you share who I’d report to and how large the EX & Internal Mobility team is, and what the biggest pain point is today in your absence management or caseload processes (or your Teams/SharePoint setup) that you’d like me to tackle first?


Hi R***k,
Great questions.
1. Reporting line
You’d report directly to the Director of People Experience (a member of the HR leadership team who partners closely with the CHRO).
2. Team size
The Employee Experience & Internal Mobility function today is a tight-knit team of five: two internal mobility specialists, one absence-management advisor, a learning & development coordinator, and the lead you’d be stepping into.
3. Top pain point
Our biggest challenge right now is the fragmentation in our absence-management and caseload processes. We’ve rolled out a new caseload-management tool, but it’s only partially adopted, so teams still rely on ad-hoc spreadsheets. That creates delays, inconsistent stakeholder updates and limited visibility on return-to-work progress. At the same time, our MS Teams/SharePoint environment,while set up,is lacking a clear governance model and intuitive structure, which makes it hard for colleagues to find the latest templates, survey results and workflow guidelines.
Your first priority would be to drive full adoption of the caseload-management system (including real-time dashboards), streamline our 1st/2nd-track workflows and overhaul the Teams/SharePoint architecture so content is easy to locate and keep up to date.
Hope this gives you a clear picture,let me know if you’d like to dive deeper on any of these areas. Looking forward to our conversation on Thursday!
Best,
J***e
HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain
Thanks, J***e,this really helps. Who are the main stakeholders or change champions I’d partner with to drive full adoption of the caseload tool, and how do you currently define success (KPIs or SLAs)? Also, is there an existing governance model or taxonomy for your Teams/SharePoint environment that we’d build on?


Hi R***k,
Great questions,here’s a bit more color:
1. Key stakeholders & change champions
- You’ll work closely with the Director of People Experience (your direct sponsor) and partner with our two Internal Mobility Specialists and Absence-Management Advisor to drive rollout.
- On the business side, we’ve identified about 10 HR Business Partners and six line managers in our Manufacturing and Engineering divisions who’ve been vocal advocates for improved absence processes,they’ll help champion adoption.
- Our IT Business Partner for HR systems and a small group of “HR Ambassadors” (super-users across regions) will support training and troubleshoot early issues.
2. Success metrics (KPIs/SLAs)
- User Adoption: target 85,90% of cases managed within the new tool within three months.
- Data Timeliness: 95% of case updates entered within 48 hours.
- Process Efficiency: 20% reduction in average case lifecycle (from first notification to RTW decision).
- Stakeholder Satisfaction: post-implementation survey score of 8.5+ on ease of use and clarity.
3. Governance model & taxonomy
- We have a basic Teams/SharePoint structure with site collections for each HR function and a small set of document libraries, but no formal taxonomy or metadata strategy.
- Your task would be to refine that framework,define content types, tag templates, set up a clear navigation hierarchy and assign library owners for ongoing upkeep. We’ll build on the existing channels and template pages rather than starting from scratch.
Hope this helps,let me know if you’d like any additional detail or if you’re keen to meet the stakeholders during our call on Thursday. Looking forward to digging in!
Best,
J***e
Thanks J***e,super helpful. Given my experience rolling out quick-win workshops at T***a S***l N***d, I’m curious how you’ve onboarded and coached those HR ambassadors so far, and whether you’ve piloted any taxonomy prototypes with actual end users? Also, is the 8.5+ satisfaction target based on your previous survey benchmarks or industry best practices?


Hi R***k, great questions,here’s some color:
1. Onboarding & coaching HR Ambassadors
We kick off with a two-day “train-the-trainer” workshop led by our L&D coordinator, blending hands-on tool labs, case-study breakouts and peer coaching. After that, ambassadors join bi-weekly check-ins, access a private Yammer group for real-time Q&A, and receive quarterly refreshers to share best practices across regions.
2. Taxonomy prototyping with end users
We ran a pilot in a sandbox SharePoint site with about 20 users (a mix of HRBPs and ambassadors). They tested content types, metadata tags and navigation flows, then provided structured feedback that fed into our v1.1 framework. That iterative approach helped us refine the hierarchy before broad rollout.
3. 8.5+ satisfaction target
This is a blend of our internal benchmarks and industry standards. Our last post-launch survey averaged 7.8 on ease-of-use, so we set 8.5+ as an ambitious stretch. We also looked at top-quartile scores in manufacturing firms (typically 8.7,9.0) to align with best practices.
If you’d like to meet a few ambassadors or walk through prototype screenshots on Thursday’s call, just let me know. Looking forward!

Thanks, J***e,super helpful. Quick follow-up: how do you assess ambassador readiness after the train-the-trainer workshop before they support end users? And during the taxonomy pilot, what unexpected feedback shifted your v1.1 framework? Lastly, will you rely on one-off surveys or regular pulse checks to track that 8.5+ satisfaction goal?


Hi R***k,
Great questions,here’s some more detail:
1. Ambassador readiness
After our two-day train-the-trainer workshop, we gate readiness through a short knowledge quiz, a live co-facilitation exercise (where the L&D coordinator rates delivery against a checklist), and a peer-review debrief. Only ambassadors who hit our 80%+ checklist score,and demonstrate confidence in troubleshooting common scenarios,are signed off to support end users.
2. Taxonomy pilot insights
While our initial v1.0 hierarchy covered all core document types, users told us it felt too granular and hard to navigate,especially when searching across regions. In v1.1 we consolidated similar metadata fields, introduced a “quick-tag” suggestion feature, and restructured folders around job families rather than function. That change alone boosted findability scores by 20% in our sandbox test.
3. Satisfaction tracking
We’ll use a hybrid approach: quarterly deep-dive surveys for comprehensive feedback, plus short monthly pulse checks embedded in Teams. This cadence keeps us agile,spotting friction early while still measuring against our 8.5+ satisfaction stretch target.
Happy to walk you through our readiness checklist or share sample pulse questions on Thursday’s call,or even connect you with one of our ambassadors live. Let me know what you’d prefer!
Best,
J***e
Thanks, J***e,super helpful. Could you share an example of a common troubleshooting scenario from your ambassador readiness checklist and which metadata fields you consolidated in v1.1? And how are you delivering those monthly pulse checks in Teams (adaptive cards vs. simple forms) and what response rate have you seen so far?


Hi R***k,
Happy to dive in:
1. Common troubleshooting scenario
, Scenario: An end user reports that the absence-management template isn’t pulling the latest policy version.
, Ambassador steps:
• Verify user permissions in SharePoint (check library access)
• Confirm the user’s Teams cache is cleared & reconnect to the site
• Walk them through the “Sync” button in our caseload tool to refresh metadata links
, This sequence is on the readiness checklist; ambassadors must hit all three before escalating.
2. v1.1 metadata consolidation
In our original v1.0 we had separate fields for “Function” and “Department,” and for “Document Type” and “Template Category.” In v1.1 we merged:
• Function + Department → Business Unit
• Document Type + Template Category → Document Category
We also combined “Region” + “Site” into a single “Location” tag. This cut click-depth in half and boosted findability.
3. Monthly pulse checks in Teams
, Delivery: We use Adaptive Cards via Power Automate, pushed to each user’s HR channel with three 1,5 scale questions + an optional comment field.
, Response rate: We’re averaging 60,65% participation each month (peaks of ~70% in pilot cohorts) and follow up with quick reminders for anyone who misses it.
Let me know if you’d like to see a sample Adaptive Card or walk through the checklist live on Thursday’s call,I’m happy to share screens.
Looking forward!

Thanks J***e , super clear. Quick follow-up: how do ambassadors capture and report those troubleshoot steps in your caseload tool so you can spot recurring issues? And with the new Business Unit/Document Category tags, what governance do you have in place to keep metadata consistent?


Hi R***k,
Great questions,here’s how we handle both:
1. Capturing & reporting troubleshoot steps
- Ambassadors log each support interaction directly in our caseload tool’s “Issue Log” section. They select a predefined issue type (e.g. template pull, permissions, metadata sync), enter the steps taken and the resolution, then flag it for “Root Cause Analysis” if needed.
- The tool automatically aggregates these entries into an “Issue Trends” dashboard, so we can spot recurring pain points by volume, department or region. We review that dashboard weekly with our IT partner and governance council to prioritize fixes.
2. Metadata governance for Business Unit & Document Category
- We’ve established a Metadata Council (L&D lead, two ambassadors, HR systems owner and a process owner) that owns both tag sets.
- All new tags or changes go through a lightweight change-request workflow in SharePoint: submit a request, council review within 5 business days, then publish updates to the content-type hub.
- We enforce consistency via Power Automate rules at upload,documents missing required tags get automatically quarantined for review. Plus, the council runs a quarterly audit report to catch any stray or deprecated terms.
Happy to walk you through our Issue Trends dashboard or governance workflow in Thursday’s call,just let me know which you’d like to deep-dive.
Looking forward,
J***e
