Case Study: Stadtwerke Konstanz boosts internal communication with Staffbase Employee App

Swapping Old for New, A German Public Utilities Provider Welcomes Digitization with Their Employee App

Stadtwerke Konstanz, a German public utilities provider with around 850 employees across many non-desk roles, needed a better way to reach its diverse workforce. Its old intranet and employee newspaper were not mobile or interactive, so the company turned to Staffbase and its employee app to support a more modern internal communications strategy.

Staffbase implemented the employee app “swäpp,” which was rolled out with strong launch support including employee invitations, magazine announcements, an animated video, and a photo shoot for profile pictures. The result was rapid adoption: more than 300 employees registered within four days, helping Stadtwerke Konstanz advance its broader digitization program and improve employee engagement.
