Connecting employees digitally
Ensuring the transfer of knowledge within the Galenica Group and the personal, direct interchange between all employees from all language regions of Switzerland are at the heart of our communication efforts. These goals are an important prerequisite for successfully developing Galenica further together. The new Group-wide intranet G-Net offers the opportunity to do this.
For two years now, we as a Group have had to carry out many activities digitally due to the epidemiological situation. One of the greatest challenges has been to create a network between employees of the various companies – both at office workstations and in the pharmacies, logistics and warehouses – in order to foster a communal dialogue, provide information and improve knowledge sharing. The fact that we planned and set up a new intranet even before the pandemic helped us in this new situation.
In addition to improving efficiency, digitalisation creates new possibilities for communication and interaction among employees. With the new internal digital communication platform G-Net, which went live at the beginning of 2021, we now have a solution that connects all employees with one another. All Galenica Group employees can access the new intranet from a desktop computer, laptop or directly from a mobile device such as a smartphone. G-Net provides news about business activities, internal regulations and organisational charts, and offers the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues in forums and thus share expertise with one another. This means «office» and «non-office» workers are networked with each other.
Formats, such as the regular Q&A sessions with the Executive Committee, are readily accessible to all Group employees via G-Net. As part of our strategic programmes and our servant leadership philosophy, G-Net therefore contributes to the reduction of silos and to the self-determined actions of employees.
