Digital bulletin boards create community in a fusion process

Interview with Dorthe Christensen, Internal Communication & Office Manager, Saint-Gobain Danmark A/S, Gyproc.

In Saint-Gobain Denmark, dnp Visiosigns Information Screens have been used for over 10 years. The screens are central to internal communication, to the dissemination of the company’s safety rules and in the work to strengthen the sense of community between the many departments across the country.
Saint-Gobain is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of materials and solutions for construction. The screens are central to internal communication, to the dissemination of the company’s safety rules and in the work to strengthen the sense of community between the many departments across the country.

“We thought the screens help to engage our employees because it contributes to the feeling of being an important part of something bigger”

Saint-Gobain has information screens located both in production areas, in canteens, in warehouses and in receptions. Among other things, the screens are used to tell ‘the good stories’ at Saint-Gobain. It can, for example, be stories about large construction projects the company has supplied materials for. In this way, the screens can be used to involve the employees in the entire process and remind them that their work effort is part of something bigger.

The collaboration with dnp Visiosign has changed Saint-Gobain’s way of communicating with employees. 60% of the employees at Saint-Gobain do not sit at a computer – this makes it a challenge to reach all employees with good internal communication.

“dnp Visiosign has listened to us and adapted the product specifically to our needs. It makes it easy and fast for us to work with internal communication”

Dorthe says that info screens are important for internal communication, as the intranet and emails are not enough to ensure that everyone gets important information quickly enough.

“If you ever have problems, call dnp Visiosign Support and it will be fixed very quickly”

dnp Visiosign has developed a solution for Saint-Gobain which is specially adapted to their design, profile and specific needs. Dorthe says that dnp Visiosign is good at listening to their very specific needs and developing solutions that match their wishes, which together with the quick response from dnp Visiosign Support is one of the things that is highlighted as the best part of the collaboration.
