Case Study: Electrolux Professional achieves increased employee-driven innovation and engagement with HYPE Innovation

How Electrolux Professional created a culture of innovation and intrapreneurship

Electrolux Professional, a Stockholm‑based multinational with over 3,000 employees operating in 50+ countries, needed to move beyond reputation and embed continuous innovation across the organization. The company lacked a repeatable process, a dedicated team and visible management support to nurture intrapreneurship and make employees feel their ideas could become real projects.

They launched an Innovation Hub and the OnE Innovation platform, built with Planbox to match their requirements, enabling anyone to submit ideas, join challenges, interact peer‑to‑peer, and build categorized idea repositories and portfolios. The platform’s democratic evaluation, AI‑assisted prioritization and portfolio tools drove higher participation—evidenced by 100+ entries in a global Sustainability Challenge and management backing for finalists—resulting in increased employee engagement and a stronger, scalable innovation culture.
