The company CIMEO CONSTRUCTION

CIMEO CONSTRUCTION is part of the CIMEO group, which serves construction professionals with over a hundred projects underway and a large number completed in Brittany. With 240 employees, many of whom are in the field, the company noticed that information was not sufficiently conveyed to the entire staff. Therefore, a solution was needed to modernise internal communications, foster stronger connections and sharing among employees, and ensure that information is no longer solely shared by the hierarchy.

We have gathered testimonials from several employees who explain how the company found the solution to bring a new momentum, improve information distribution and foster closeness.

A desire to inform all employees

It was essential that there was the same level of communication on a construction site in Lanester (Morbihan) as on one in Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine).

Employees on construction sites wanted to receive the same information as their colleagues in the offices, and the company realised that there were information channels that worked well and others that didn't, such as paper notice boards that weren't really effective.

If employees had to define Steeple in a few words? Closeness, sharing, instant communication, speed, comprehensiveness, interaction, efficiency, creating connections and simplicity.

Taking a participatory approach

With Steeple, the company is asserting its horizontal communication positioning and sharing various subjects with employees.

For example, the HR department communicates about new recruitment, vacancies or benefits such as the 1% housing scheme. The HR department has noticed a greater accessibility and is reactive via the posts distributed.

A simple, intuitive tool that brings people together

The Steeple solution improves internal communications, particularly during coffee breaks. The tool is intuitive, simple and brings employees closer together ! They know where they can find the latest news, and can give their opinions and pass on information. And that's just as well, because employees in the field have a smartphone, so they have just as much access to information as the construction manager at head office.

CIMEO CONSTRUCTION employees, especially those in the offices, don't necessarily know what's going on in the field, and with the tool, there's a real sharing. In the end, the interactive side is just as interesting as the work-sharing side!

A watchful eye on the field, for everyone

Popular features

Employees greatly appreciate the construction site posts accompanied by photos. This allows them to see the scope of the projects in Brittany and to identify the colleagues who are following them. They can also encourage discussion with their teams in the field by commenting on the posts.

It was just as important to communicate and give access to information to administrative staff, people in the offices who have professional e-mail and a computer, as to employees in the field who have a smartphone.
