Haag-Streit: Global Information, one platform!
How do you reach employees across locations, teams, and functions? Haag-Streit Group uses ahead to simplify internal communication, centralize information, and better connect with employees worldwide.
How does a globally operating company reach all employees across locations, teams, and functions?
Haag-Streit Group has a long tradition in medical technology and today operates across multiple locations worldwide. Around 800 employees work across different countries, functions, and working environments, from office-based roles to production.
As the company grew, so did its communication channels: information was shared via email, Microsoft Teams, an employee newsletter PDF, and through line managers. But the more channels emerged, the harder it became to maintain an overview and ensure that important information actually reached everyone.
Employees outside traditional office settings, as well as teams at international locations, had limited access to centralized information. On top of that, there was no way for employees to actively participate in communication — information flow was entirely one-directional. For many, this meant having to actively seek out information, often across multiple channels.
The core question became: how can a company with global locations ensure that all employees are equally informed, engaged, and connected with one another?
Global Communication: Simple and Centralized
With ahead, Haag-Streit Group has introduced a digital platform that connects employees worldwide. Branded “InVision Connect,” this new intranet makes information accessible to all locations and teams, regardless of whether someone works in an office or doesn't have a dedicated computer workstation. This ensures that important news and company updates reach all employees at the same time.
By consolidating communication in one central platform and structuring content clearly, employees can find information more quickly and easily. The result is not only greater transparency across the company, but also a stronger sense of connection between teams and locations worldwide.
