Nestlé transforms workplace with Facebook’s enterprise platform

Nestlé has adopted Workplace by Facebook as its global internal communication tool, to connect its workforce and better serve consumers.

Around 210,000 of its employees worldwide use the platform to connect and collaborate.

Workplace offers familiar Facebook features such as News Feed, Groups, Chat, events and live streams, as well as seamless mobile integration.  Because Workplace is easy to use, it can connect everyone and reach employees where they are.

The company first rolled out the new platform in its operations in the Middle East, Mexico, Brazil, and South Africa saw 25 times higher engagement per post and very high rate of use on mobile devices.

The Workplace platform has features that allow managers to use Live video to connect directly with employees at different locations. It also allows sales teams to use Workplace for daily check-ins and to share information and best practice.

Nestlé Executive Vice President Chris Johnson, said, “Nestlé is a people-first environment. We really rely on our talented teams to manage more than 2,000 Nestlé brands worldwide. We help our employees develop and we give them the right tools, so Workplace is a perfect fit.”

The move to Workplace is part of Nestlé’s commitment to empower people and sustain a high-performance culture. The company is moving more and more to offer open office configurations and more flexible working environments.

Workplace is also a great example of Nestlé constantly embracing the best technology and systems. Filippo Catalano, chief information officer, Nestlé, said, “Today, using Workplace by Facebook we are able to give our employees across the globe a platform to build connections, enabling faster and more engaging sharing of information.”

Julien Codorniou, vice president of Workplace by Facebook, said, “As the global work landscape continues to change and the demand for better collaboration, IT and mobile-first work increases, we are honored to partner with a company like Nestlé to help employees work together to allow for limitless innovation.”

While a large majority of users has now joined the Workplace platform, the rollout will continue throughout 2019.
