The Flip effect: How toom connects all employees

For better networking and information sharing within the company, toom has introduced an employee app throughout Germany. The app is available to all 18,000 employees on mobile devices and optionally also on their desktops. Therefore, the staff can exchange information with each other professionally, personally, and digitally. Already now, it is easy to find topic-specific information, and in the medium term, it will be possible to handle various HR topics such as duty scheduling or time recording in the app.

Before the app was introduced, there were no target group-specific communication channels and employees received information through many different channels. Due to the company's growth, some information also no longer reached where it was needed. In different subject- or location-specific groups, the respective group members now only receive relevant information that they need in their everyday lives. In addition to the existing links to HR processes, other business process-related systems are to be integrated. In the medium term, the app will become the heart of the company's internal knowledge management.
