FAQ

What is meant by ‘employee experience’?

Employee Experience refers to the totality of all the experiences employees have during their time at the company – from onboarding and internal communication to collaboration, leadership and corporate culture. A positive Employee Experience boosts motivation, a sense of belonging and the company’s appeal as an employer. To this end, RYZE develops strategies, content and digital platforms that effectively combine communication and technology.

Which tools are suitable for internal communication?

Which platform is the right one depends on the size of the company, its target audiences and its requirements. Solutions such as Staffbase and SharePoint, or specialised content management systems such as Scompler or the RYZE Online Publisher, are frequently used. RYZE supports companies every step of the way, from tool selection through to implementation and long-term development.

How do you successfully roll out an employee experience platform?

The success of an employee experience platform begins long before the technical go-live. In addition to selecting the right technology, a clear communication strategy, governance, editorial processes, change communication and employee engagement are crucial. RYZE supports companies from the conception stage through to roll-out and ongoing optimisation.

What is change communication – and how can it be successful?

Change communication supports change processes such as transformations, reorganisations or new digital ways of working. It provides guidance, explains the background and fosters acceptance. It is successful when managers, staff and communication channels are consistently aligned with one another.

How does RYZE support the roll-out of Staffbase?

The introduction of Staffbase is more than just a technical project. As a Staffbase partner, RYZE supports companies with strategy, implementation, content migration, change communication and roll-out. The result is an employee experience platform that engages staff and is used successfully in the long term.

What services does an employee experience agency provide?

A specialist agency supports companies throughout the entire project: from strategy and information architecture, through UX, design and technical implementation, to change communication, copywriting, content migration and enablement. The aim is to create a platform that is technically sound and actively used by staff.

What content expertise sets RYZE Digital apart?
