What Was The Challenge?
Before implementing Humand, Supermercados Día faced the challenge of managing, sustaining, and improving its internal communication. The broad geographical dispersion of its employees, many of whom did not have access to a computer, made it difficult to simultaneously and efficiently disseminate internal processes, communication, and corporate culture. This created significant barriers to coordination and collaboration between different departments and levels within the company.
How can organizations improve internal communication in a geographically dispersed work environment?
How Did Humand Solve It?
Humand became the essential tool to connect Supermercados Día’s 3500 employees through a single application. Other companies with a European presence, such as Siemens, Sodexo, Techint, and Seidor, are also working with Humand to continue improving their human resources management systems. The main features used by Día included:
- Instant communication: The app allows direct and real-time communication between employees from different departments, facilitating coordination and problem-solving swiftly.
- Centralization of information: Everything relevant, such as updates on inventories, work schedules, promotions, and internal events, is centralized on the platform. This ensures that all employees have access to up-to-date information.
Why is centralizing information crucial in a company with a large workforce?
- Facilitation of collaboration: Being connected through the same platform, employees can work together more easily on projects and tasks that require interdepartmental coordination.
- Streamlining decision-making: The fluid communication promoted by Humand contributed to faster and more efficient decision-making, positively impacting the company’s operations.
