The document proposes two options for a handbook to be given to new employees to help them learn about the company. Option 1 is called "The Alchemist" and would present the idea that employees have the ability to achieve extraordinary things. It would include a booklet, calendar, and brand plan. Option 2 is called "Jigsaw" and would emphasize that employees are part of a larger whole, like pieces in a puzzle. It would include a set of three themed booklets and extend the puzzle piece metaphor through various initiatives. Both options aim to creatively engage employees and help embed the company culture from the start.

1. INX ; INTERNAL COMMUNICATION ‘ ROOTS AND WINGS’

2. BRIEF : A HAND BOOK TO BE GIVEN TO EMPLOYEES ON JOINING CONTAINING ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE COMPANY AS WELL AS THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.

7. 720 DEGREE IDEAS THAT WILL BE ACTUALLY SAMPLED, RATHER THAN A BOOK OF RULES THAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN A FRIENDLY WAY.

8. SIMPLY SPEAKING OF VALUES AND BRAND POSITIONING AND ETHOS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AS EFFECTIVE AS OPENING THE EMPLOYEE TO AN INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE WHICH HE / SHE WILL ENJOY AND THEREFORE INTERNALIZE RAPIDLY.

9. THIS PATHWAY NEEDS TO BE ETCHED SLOWLY AND DEEPLY WITH EQUALLY EFFECTIVE INTERACTIVE SUGGESTIONS TO HELP THE CULTURE EMBED ITSELF IN FIRST THE INDIVIDUAL AND RIPPLE OUTWARD TO THE GROUP. HENCE THE 3 MONTH BRAND PLAN WITH 720 DEGREE IDEAS .

10. THE ATTEMPT BEING TO REPLICATE QUITE LITERALLY ONE FACET OF THE PRINCIPLE BEHIND THE LOGO OF THE JIGSAW “ MOVE ONE : MOVE THEM ALL.’

18. JIGSAW EACH ONE IS LINKED TO THE NEXT AND THE OTHER IN A UNCLUTTERED YET SNUG WAY . STRENGTH COMES FROM EACH ONE FORMING A PART OF THE WHOLE . IT IS THIS THE UNITY THAT CREATES THE COMPLETE PICTURE .

19. “ FIT RIGHT IN” IS NOT INDICATIVE OF A BUNCH OF UNUSUAL PEOPLE HANGING OUT TOGETHER. IT GOES WAY DEEPER,LEVERAGING CORE BRAND VALUES THIS CORE CONCEPT IS TRANSLATED INTO A VISUAL OF A MAN IN A BOX, AND THE WORDS THAT RUN AROUND HIM FORM THE WALL THAT EXEMPLIFY THE CREDO.

21. THE COPY TAKES THE BALL AND RUNS. EXACTLY WHAT EACH EMPLOYEE MUST DO IN THE ORGANIZATION HIT THE GROUND RUNNING AND .. KEEP GOING .. KEEP GOING… NO MATTER WHAT GETS IN THE WAY, KEEP GOING.

25. JIGSAW CONTD COLOUR , DESIGN, COPY , CONCEPT AND USAGE OF LANGUAGE WILL TAKE FORWARD THIS IDEA AND PERPETUATE THE JIGSAW CONECPT. SUBSEQUENT SUB BRANDS OF THE ENTIRE NETWORK WILL LOCK INTO THE THEME : FOR EG: IF NEWS IS A SINGLE ENTITY NOW, IT WILL OVER TIME HAVE LOCAL NEWS, AND HENCE A FAMILY WILL EMERGE

26. OTHER ANGLES IN BOTH ROUTES, ART PLAYS A FOCAL ROUTE. EACH ILLUSTRATION IS HAND MADE, COMPLETELY ORIGINAL AND SPECIFICALLY DRAWN TO BRING TO LIFE THE POINT BEING MADE IN THE COPY.

27. ART AND COPY CONTEMPORARY USE OF TYPEFACES AS WELL AS COLOUR WILL ENSURE THAT THE LIFE OF THE BOOKLET IS A LONG ONE AND IT WILL NOT GET DATED FOR TIME TO COME .

36. “ FIT IN REPLY BOX” IN HR OR IN THE LOBBY , WHERE EACH EMPLOYEE CAN DROP IN REASONS WHY HE OR SHE FEELS THEY ARE FITTING IN. THIS CAN BE LINE EXTENDED TO BECOMING A TONGUE IN CHEEK “FIT –TING REPLY “ WHERE SOCIAL OR PUBLIC ISSUES CAN BE AIRED

37. JIGSAW 720 TAKING THE CORE BRAND VALUE OF “FITTING IN” TO THE ORAGNIZATIONAL FAMILY FURTHER [REFER TO THE MAN IN BOX VISUAL] THE EMPLOYEE IS ENCOURAGED TO: ‘ KEEP GOING, DON’T STOP, CHASE THE IDEA, CHASE THE STORY, CHASE THE CLIENT , CHASE THE CONSUMER AND ULTIMATELY CHASE YOUR DREAMS”
