Innovative and communicative – an employee app drives success

In 2022, EUROPART was named one of the 100 most innovative medium-sized companies in Germany for the second year in a row. One of the key factors behind the company’s success is the rollout of Flip’s employee app.

Since EUROPART’s partnership with Flip started back in early 2021, the company – which has around 1,700 employees – hasn’t just been able to take its internal communication to the next level, but its innovation management too. Since the companies started their journey together, more than 150 suggested improvements have been submitted each year. This is an increase of almost 100% compared to before the employee app was launched. This increase is down to the app. It lets employees submit ideas in a simple and structured way, and even allows documents, photos and videos to be uploaded to provide extra context. And the 98% implementation rate speaks for itself. 

Since it was first introduced, the app has become the company’s standard means of internal communication. And employee satisfaction levels show that the process has been a success. A recent survey showed that 75% of employees are very happy with their employer and report the app-based communication as the main reason for their satisfaction. 

"We receive so much constructive feedback that we could hire a full-time employee just for sorting through and processing it all."

Olaf Giesen, CEO Europart
