Introduction of the Digital Workplace: Change Management as a Success Factor at Eppendorf.

The Digital Workplace at Eppendorf is changing the way people work around the world. With Campana & Schott as a partner, the acceptance of new IT tools was increased and employees were efficiently supported.

Aligning the IT tool landscape with the needs of employees and standardizing it globally - this was the focus of the Eppendorf Group's Digital Workplace program. As a leading international company in the life science industry, it was crucial to actively shape the digital transformation and provide employees with the best possible support. Employees were at the center of the entire program. The aim was to support the entire organization in changing the way it works and to anchor this change in the long term. In Campana & Schott, Eppendorf has found an experienced partner with technical and change management expertise to plan and implement the program.

Services provided by Campana & Schott include:

  • Conducting a purpose workshop

  • Global communication and visualization of a target image

  • Development of a central information platform including various tool guides

  • Informing and involving managers and employees

  • Development and management of a knowledge sharing community

  • Regular engagement sessions

  • Branding activities: Creation of a logo and videos, organization of virtual information events and on-site activities such as a trade fair stand

The introduction of a company-wide Digital Workplace at the Eppendorf Group on three continents was continuously supported by Campana & Schott, with employees having received ongoing support as part of the Digital Workplace program. This not only promoted the use of the newly introduced tools but also actively supported the exchange between employees. This led to a more efficient and sustainable use of the tools in everyday work. The increased awareness of the tools also improved the image of the IT department. Overall, these measures contributed to a significant increase in employee satisfaction.
