Context

In this era of new technologies, Internet and social networks, Auchan France has sought to ride the wave of the new modes of communication and collaboration. Auchan helps its employees to share information, best practices and transparency, in relation with its values : trust, sharing and progress. 

Objectives

  •  Remove barriers erected inside the company by assembling employees from all sites or across all disciplines in shared digital spaces.
  • Foster and simplify the access to information 
  • Spark curiosity and promote a friendly spirit through quickly exchanging information and ideas.
  • Develop the professionalism of each staff member via a collaborative apprenticeship.

APPROACH

The collaborative platform for ALL employees 

NeoConnect is an online platform accessible to all employees, at any time. This platform enables all actors within a given profession, mission or project to build ties within their space and thereby share information (documents, photographs, videos), exchange comments and offer evaluations. From a store employee to the business line director and including the buyer or supplier, each individual is free to access and participate in making news, preparing retail activity or advancing within the participant's chosen field. But everyone can also suscribe to a topic of his choice. A unique platform to communicate, to exchange… With a determination to be open and transparent, but first and foremost, a will to ease the process and render the information reachable in less than two hits.  

Best Practice selected in 2012 by World Forum for a Responsible Economy and updated in 2016.
