Building the best Employee Experience
For DVAG, the new intranet provided by Workai is a fundamental tool that allows for the company’s efficient operation. It plays a crucial role in integrating the staff and ensuring flawless customer service. It is used daily by more than 18 000 self-employed financial advisors located all over Germany (mobile, working remotely, traveling, being constantly on the go). It’s even more critical during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the intranet has become the one-stop place for all coronavirus-related information, feedback, processes, and instructions.
Workai helped us to reorganize our whole sales communication – our new internal platform now provides a holistic digital employee experience for all of our consultants. The Nielsen Norman Award is confirmation that our unconventional approach and hard work are not only appreciated by DVAG employees but also recognized by international experts.
says Eric Schmid, Marketing Director at Deutsche Vermögensberatung AG.
