How Damartex gathered its teams with digital signage
The Damartex group, which has about fifteen sites and subsidiaries in Europe, had to solve the following equation: how to spread a common culture and values within the group, while respecting the specificities of each brand across Europe? But how do you manage to interconnect your teams instantly with each other in order to create horizontal co-operation? Indeed, the structures and subsidiaries are sometimes separated by several hundred kilometres.
With the aim of implementing a harmonised communication strategy that is easy to deploy, adopt and enhance, this is the story of the deployment of digital signage for internal communication at Damartex.
Damartex logically called on Cenareo to disseminate its internal communication and convey a dynamic brand image to all its employees. It opted for the digital signage: 35 screens were deployed at twelve sites.
The group can also use online customisable templates. In addition, each subsidiary has its own communications: the content is segmented and each can broadcast what it wants on its own channel. Anyone having an user right can publish in several teams, from executive assistants to internal communication teams and IT. The headquarters keep broadcasting rights on all the channels.
These dynamic panels in reception areas, cafeterias and other shared work areas enable the company to script its internal communication. Either to present the new collection of a brand of the group to all its subsidiaries, to communicate the life of the brands between its structures or indicate traffic conditions. This well-integrated solution is appreciated by employees, who see it as a natural, first-rate information system that can unite teams. The announcements made have high added value: announcement of common objectives by management, communication of events by the works committee, etc. Today, the solution is deployed at all Damartex sites in Germany, England, Belgium and France.
The Damartex Group, one of the main European distributors for seniors, aims to become the European leader in the silver economy.It brings together three poles:
