Baumüller trusts Plusco – interview with HR Manager Petra Dvořáčková

Baümuller decided to digitalize its corporate communication and chose the Plusco app. We interviewed HR Manager Petra Dvořáčková to find out what their internal communication currently looks like and what their expectations of Plusco are.

1. Why did you decide to implement a new application for internal communication? What were the main reasons?

We were looking for a way to improve and speed up employee information, as well as the ability to share all important information in one place.

But not only that. We want to digitize some HR processes and we see the possibility of using the app for this purpose as well.

2. What information channels are you using at the moment? / How do you inform employees about news, how do you pass on important information to them?

We currently use several channels to share information.

We send official internal communications to company emails, which we then post on bulletin boards in the company premises.

The bulletin boards are actually our main information channel for employees in production, through which we share all important information.

We also make a lot of use of social networks – FB, IG, LI, but we know that only a certain group of employees sees this information.

We publish a company magazine once every 3 months, which is used to share our strategic plans as well as our achievements within each department. All employees receive space.

3. What do you expect from the introduction of Plusco?

Certainly the main thing is to speed up and unify internal communication for all employees and new colleagues. Being able to get the right information to everyone at the same time.

As sharing information via noticeboards is essentially one-way, we also welcome the opportunity from the new app to simply get feedback from employees and be more in touch.

It is in the possibility to connect directly with all employees and create one big BauMüller community that we see huge potential.

We really like the increased convenience in ordering lunches and the constant overview of attendance or leave balances.
