ANNE SOPHIE STRANDMARK:
Carlsberg is
a brewing company and we are
still located here in Denmark
in Valby Bakke where it
all started 175 years ago.
EMILY DALTERIO:
You can find a Carlsberg
in over 100 markets.
While we're connected in
our purpose of brewing for a
better today and tomorrow.
We certainly are a
modern workforce
that needs to be connected
with each other.
ANNE SOPHIE STRANDMARK:
I think technology has been
a fundamental
cornerstone of our DNA.
It is an integral
part of how we work.
The old intranet didn't reach
the number of people
that we wanted.
EMILY DALTERIO:
We strive for making sure
that we have the best beer in
the world for our
customers and we
wanted that same experience
for our employees.
We wanted them to be able
to utilize tools that met
their needs from the
minute that they
left their house to the
minute that they went home.
ANNE SOPHIE STRANDMARK:
And that's where
an employee experience platform
also comes into the picture.
TIM LAURIDSEN:
Teams was
the best choice based on
the good feedback we've
seen from the employees.
On top of Teams,
we then brought in
Viva connections
as the platform for CarlsNet.
ANNE SOPHIE STRANDMARK:
Viva and Teams
is a great tool because
most of our workforce is
already licensed there.
It has in-built security.
It was much more easy to
roll it out to the users.
It was simply to pin
the Viva connection
application in
Teams and roll that
out to all our users.
EMILY DALTERIO:
People voted on the design
that they preferred.
We did a naming competition.
ANNE SOPHIE STRANDMARK:
So what you see today
on CarlsNet is
truly built by the employees.
EMILY DALTERIO:
Co-creation is
so important for Carlsberg.
It's an ethos of how
we do our business.
TIM LAURIDSEN:
I would
describe CarlsNet build
on Viva Connections as
a highly customizable,
mobile-friendly solution.
ANNE SOPHIE STRANDMARK:
The dashboard is really
the gateway for
everyone's workday.
That's where they
start their day.
XENIA VALLES GAMUNDI:
When I come at the office,
the first things that I open are
Teams and CarlsNet
because then I can
be up to date on
the news that have been
happening in the company.
I follow the functions
that are relevant for me,
but also the central
office where I'm located.
ANNE SOPHIE STRANDMARK:
It looks like
a social media feed
that you can
interact. It's fun.
TIM LAURIDSEN:
So I think the digital experience
is being improved
by the fact that
the Viva Connections
dashboard can really
be targeted to the
individual employee's needs.
We've done the beer of the day,
we've done the cantina menu.
We also have the
ability to actually do
customized dashboards for
different departments,
individual teams by using
audience targeting.
ANNE SOPHIE STRANDMARK:
Microsoft Viva can do
integrations into
our HR systems into our
employee benefit systems,
and basically creating that
one-stop-shop for the employee.
EMILY DALTERIO:
Microsoft Viva has
helped Carlsberg create
a better digital experience for
our employees because
it's in our pocket now.
TIM LAURIDSEN:
Inclusion is
about people to be able to reach
each other and to consume
the information they
need when they need it.
XENIA VALLES GAMUNDI:
For me, I think that it's
a very powerful tool to
actually build a
community because,
for example, on the posts,
you can comment and tag people.
But this grows together with
the behavior in the company.
