CHALLENGE
Following a restructuring in one division of a large Swiss company, the employees affected are finding it difficult to adapt to the new organisational structure. Various resignations in different teams and changes at management level have further undermined the employees' already fragile trust in the transformation and the managers.
The company is striving to strengthen the sense of community through targeted community management and thus both reduce staff turnover and increase employee satisfaction again.
SOLUTION BY OPAKBOX
Involving roles with people management aspects, Opakbox supports the company in developing a community management strategy with the following components (selection):
- Promoting communication: Existing communication channels are jointly analysed and continuously updated with relevant content.
- Establish networking platforms: Platforms are created/re-activated around topics that are technically relevant to the company, where employees can meet up, particularly on-site. These offer opportunities for cross-team networking and strengthen the sense of togetherness.
- Appreciation: Guidelines are developed together with leaders to live appreciation in everyday life. Opakbox not only focuses on traditional incentives, but also encourages small but no less important approaches such as transparent communication or proactively honouring successes.
- Feedback culture: In collaboration with the employees and leaders concerned, new, suitable frameworks are developed and implemented so that changes in well-being can be recognised and addressed in time.
Nice to Know: Opakbox involves employees in their processes right from the start. Feedback on ongoing work is taken into account at any time and integrated directly into the further course of the collaboration.

CHALLENGE
A medium-sized IT company with various ‘ inactive’ communities of practice (CoP) would like to bring its employees closer together online and offline on work-related topics.
The aim is not only to promote the exchange of knowledge, but also to transform rather boring events into inspiring meeting places.
SOLUTION BY OPAKBOX
In a first step, the existing CoPs are analysed with the involvement of all relevant roles. A joint decision is made as to which CoPs should be reactivated. Opakbox develops innovative further development options for these CoPs. Together with the people in charge, these approaches are tested in a timely manner and continuously developed in order to meet the needs of employees.
The collaboration also includes a review of existing online and offline platforms. Where appropriate, online platforms are supplemented by suitable on-site activities.
Nice to Know: At Opakbox, ‘hands-on’ means that, in addition to the conceptual work, we are actively involved in the implementation. The aim is to support those currently responsible and to prepare the themes/events for them in such a way that they can be used again as quickly as possible without Opakbox.
TIMELINE
± 1-6 months, depending on the scope and type of cooperation.

NETWORK
We. Expand your Network.
Community
CHALLENGE
Dynamic market changes create new target groups for an SME. In order to quickly recognise their needs and assert itself against established competitors in the new market environment, the company must build up a solid network. As the responsible managers are heavily involved in day-to-day business, there is not enough time to build up this network strategically and promptly.
SOLUTION BY OPAKBOX
As we believe that networking works best when it happens naturally, the focus of a first meeting is to get to know the person(s) who want to expand their network.
Opakbox develops customised options for network expansion that are tailored to individual needs and behaviours. Together, we put these options into practice. These can range from active support for selected events to the simple written processing of individual contact enquiries. Our support is always based on the principle of ‘as much as necessary, as little as possible’.
Nice to Know: At Opakbox, we believe that community, events and networking only really come fully to fruition when they merge seamlessly. As a customer, you automatically become part of our unique Opakbox community. Because we are passionate about what we stand for, we ensure that our members meet regularly in an inspiring environment, learn from each other and exchange ideas.
