How BENEŠ A LÁT Connected Workers Across Production Plants

The Challenge

Established in 1934, BENEŠ A LÁT has always been a great showcase of how innovation can keep the best traditions alive in a modern era. Traditions that go way beyond the product.

One of these is their family-like work environment built on communication, respect, trust, and continuous feedback.

But as they've grown to 450 employees across four plants, keeping such culture alive poses a unique challenge.

The Solution

By its very nature, a scattered workforce is less connected to a company's central hub of information & activity, which means people may miss out on communal activities. Also, even though having an open-door policy helps any business on its own, it is far from enough to truly manage employee engagement and get both the qualitative & quantitative insight you need to run your company well.

Luckily, LutherOne is powered by technology that brings everything to one place and uncovers new ways to connect, engage & recognize people regardless of their location.

By combining LutherOne's continuous engagement surveys (powered by smart question distribution algorithms), continuous feedback tools & internal social network, BaL got everything they needed to take their company culture another step further.

Results

"We pride ourselves on tradition and family atmosphere, and LutherOne has brought us more together. By having four operations in four different locations, LutherOne is a great way for employees to connect", commented Runcik.

Participation and response rate in BENEŠ A LÁT have been growing ever since the launch. Leaders have been able to respond to the needs of their people thanks to targeted people-science recommendations and real-time trends.

"The results from the surveys are now much better than at the beginning with LutherOne. Everyone who participates is also more motivated", added Runci.

And the community spirit in BENEŠ A LÁT has been thriving as well. By encouraging participation through polls, posts, and more features of the internal social network, connection and collaboration have soared.

"LutherOne helps us to improve and monitor the atmosphere. We have the opportunity to see how life is going in other production plants and also to show off how things are going in ours. We try to get people involved with various polls or competitions. We promote the events we do for our employees here and share photos of the various events we participate in. The CEO regularly gets involved in responding to the posts, which also shows employees that we care about them", concluded Veronika Kracikova from BaL's HR department.
