How CBSi Built an Award-Winning Community in a Remote World

Thousands of companies had to quickly transition from in-person to remote work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CBS Interactive (CBSi), a subsidiary of ViacomCBS, needed a tool to make this transition seamless and build their award-winning community in a new remote setting. That’s when they teamed up with Symba to leverage Symba’s management platform.

CBSi’s University Relations & Diversity Program Coordinator Haley Rosano shared “We want to make sure our interns do not feel like they are coming on to just do a job; they are here because they mean something to the organization. By implementing Symba’s community [feature], we are able to demonstrate that to them.

Considering CBSi’s successful experience, we decided to launch this case study to share more.
