It’s been a little over two years since Electric Boat introduced EB Landing, a mobile site developed to help employees stay connected in a simple, easy-to-use way.
When considering the large population of EB employees with limited access to a computer, it’s easy to see the difficultly that some employees have with staying in the loop on company news, announcements, leadership podcasts, and other important communications that come through daily via email or on Homeport. EB Landing was developed to help not only these employees, but the entire EB population with staying up-to-date on what’s going on.
Being a mobile site, EB Landing can be accessed from any device at any time, even if you’re not on the EB network. Whether you visit the site on your phone, tablet or computer, from home or at work, EB Landing helps ensure all employees have access to important information and resources at all times. The site offers resources such as weather and emergency alerts, special announcements, tax and benefits information, company news and more. Today, the mobile site contains even more content, with all leadership podcasts and a running list of EB’s COVID cases now hosted on EB Landing.
If you visit EB Landing today, you’ll notice some changes were made to the site’s homepage. While current content and navigation has not changed, upgrades were made to give the homepage a refreshed, new look.
Among these changes you’ll notice a rotating banner at the top of Landing’s homepage, which scans through a few of the popular resources on the site. Clicking on an image in the rotating banner will take you to the corresponding page. Underneath the rotating banner is EB’s purpose statement, as well as new social media links that bring visitors to EB’s social platforms. A scroll bar has been added above the featured Company News stories on Landing’s homepage, making it easier for employees to scroll through the most recent published items, and the Featured Links have been altered to have an icon appearance. Additionally, you’ll notice a new space dedicated to a featured video, which will be updated as new videos become available.
