Working Not Working Launches NTRNL™ – a New Way to Unlock Talent Potential and Address Employee Retention
November 01 2023 - 9:00AM
Today, Working Not Working Inc., a Fiverr company (NYSE: FVRR), the
leading platform for curated creative talent, launched NTRNL™, a
new way to source internal talent and showcase hidden employee
passions and expertise for creative ventures and projects. NTRNL
allows employees to create human-centered and highly personalized
profiles, highlighting their project portfolio, skills, and
interests while providing companies with greater visibility into
their team’s expertise, passions, and willingness to join new and
exciting projects. Following Wieden+Kennedy being the company’s
first customer over ten years ago, they are also the first official
launch partner of NTRNL.
NTRNL’s advanced search and sourcing capabilities allow any
creative organization to find employees for the right projects from
its entire workforce – regardless of location, title, or
experience. NTRNL also facilitates collaboration throughout an
increasingly global workforce, effectively allowing employees to
connect based on shared interests and fostering a sense of
belonging across team members. The platform can help accelerate new
business opportunities by tapping into otherwise unknown employee
interests, skills, and experience beyond their day-to-day work.
NTRNL will bring together the best teams and give employees more
access to the opportunities they care about most.
The announcement comes at a critical juncture across the
creative sector, as creative agencies have struggled to adapt to an
ever-changing workforce. Employee burnout, spurred on by a growing
lack of passion-driven work and career advancement opportunities,
has plagued the industry for years. Talent retention remains a top
priority for creative agencies, with employee turnover steadily
increasing amidst a tough economic climate and an outdated agency
model that deprioritizes employee satisfaction. Thus, it is no
surprise that over 90% of organizations are concerned about
employee retention today.
The problem lies in a lack of corporate commitment to and
development of talent. In 2023, only 15% of workers reported that
their employer actively encouraged them to seek out new
opportunities within the company. Similarly, 47% of workers feel
that a lack of opportunities to advance professionally is only
increasing employee turnover within their respective
organizations.
“As a platform connecting top creatives with the most innovative
brands, Working Not Working understands the countless hurdles the
creative community faces when it comes to attracting, retaining,
and satisfying talent,” says Working Not Working Co-founder
& CEO, Justin Gignac. “NTRNL sheds light onto the very
talent that makes creative companies agencies successful in the
first place and what truly brings them fulfillment. A more human
way to look at and engage your humans.”
Working Not Working Managing Director Nicolina
Jennings adds, “We set out to create a product that
addresses retention by putting the people first. You can
successfully retain your top talent, nurture and upskill all
employees, all while saving costs from redundant hiring and
recruiting externally. Because, at the end of the day, what
employees want most is access to the right opportunities and
challenges.”
NTRNL is customizable and can be personalized to suit the
branding and culture of each organization. For example,
Wieden+Kennedy rebranded NTRNL to the Spore Directory as a
reflection of something that is meaningful to the agency and its
employees. Doing so ensures that NTRNL can fit into any company’s
overarching ethos and corporate structure as needed.
As NTRNL’s first customer, Wieden+Kennedy has been rolling out
the product across all offices globally since August – effectively
providing its 1,800 employees with more ways to stay connected and
learn more about one another.
“NTRNL is sparking our efforts to connect employees, allowing
for us to further highlight the creative talent this agency strives
to attract and nurture,” said Scott Kleiner, Global Culture
and Operations Director at Wieden+Kennedy. “With our Spore
Directory, it has never been easier to find common interests, past
experience and connect enthusiastic employees to tackle projects of
any shape and size. NTRNL ultimately allows for our employees to
express their unique talents, become inspired by one another, and
surface new creative opportunities and outlets.” For more
