Case Study: ZF achieves greater employee reach and corporate alignment with Hive Streaming

How ZF uses video communication to drive corporate alignment and company culture

ZF, a manufacturing company headquartered in Friedrichshafen, Germany, wanted to strengthen corporate alignment and company culture as part of its digital transformation. The company needed a way to let all 160,000 employees participate in the company’s direction through greater transparency, trust, and collaboration, while improving communication across a workforce spread across locations and working conditions.

Using Hive Streaming with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Stream, ZF moved from email-only communication to video on demand and live video streaming for internal communication. Hive Streaming helped ZF maximize video quality and understand how it was experienced across the workforce, resulting in a +649% increase in employee reach for live video events since December 2019, 15,813 concurrent video-on-demand viewers, and a +210% increase in monthly live video events in Q2 versus Q1.
