Case Study: Wanzek Construction achieves 73% frontline activation and a mobile-first connected workforce with Beekeeper

How Wanzek Construction Generated 500+ Employee Referrals in 3 Months

Wanzek Construction, a MasTec company that grew from 800 to 2,500 employees with roughly 70% working in the field, lacked a direct way to reach craft-level and multilingual workers on remote job sites for safety, wellness and cross-division connection. To solve this, Wanzek partnered with Beekeeper and deployed Beekeeper’s mobile employee app / frontline collaboration platform to give field teams a single, accessible communications hub.

Beekeeper enabled instant channels, inline translation, direct lines to leadership, and a mobile-first referral workflow, supported by on-site rollouts, incentives and training. The results were rapid and measurable: Wanzek hit its 50% activation goal 71 days early, reached 73% activation in six months, and generated 525 employee referrals in three months—improving communication speed, safety compliance, and employee engagement.
