This talk will address practical digital transformation in a global company, focusing on how technology can empower frontline colleagues and office employees. It introduces the global employee app Connect built on the Microsoft Teams mobile platform, leveraging the security, scalability, and familiarity of Microsoft 365 tools. Designed to provide seamless access to essential resources—such as HR information training, and communications—the app centralizes tools and content that were previously scattered across multiple systems. The initial rollout focuses on non-production employees, with production workers scheduled to follow in 2026, ensuring a phased and tailored approach. By unifying digital touchpoints, the app enhances operational efficiency, reduces complexity, and elevates the employee experience across locations. In this presentation, you will learn:

 

  • How the Connect app consolidates multiple digital entry points into a single mobile experience, reducing friction and boosting engagement.
  • What key features, such as role-based navigation, push notifications, multilingual support, and offline capabilities, ensure easy and inclusive access to information.
  • How to drive adoption among frontline workers through targeted onboarding campaigns, local champions, and integration with existing workflows.
  • How to measure success through KPIs like active usage, engagement and employee satisfaction metrics.
