Successfully Introducing Digital Tools to the Team

Involving older generations in digital transformation can be a major challenge.
We touched on this topic in our last post. Now we’d like to share some practical tips based on our experience. 💯

🐌 Start Slowly
Even though we offer a wide variety of features, it makes sense to introduce employees to just a few modules at first and grant them only the most essential basic permissions. It’s crucial to choose modules that are relevant to daily work whenever possible and to maintain them consistently.
This gives employees their first points of contact with the system, helps them get used to using it daily, and helps them understand the relevance of this new tool.

💥 Create incentives
When creating your initial content, you shouldn’t be asking what you, as a company, want from your employees, but rather what they want from you. Shift schedules? In intratool. Vacation requests? Also in intratool.
This way, not only do employees need to get used to the software, but their curiosity will also keep them coming back to use it regularly.

ℹ️ Provide informational materials
To help your employees, we recommend providing instructions that explain what intratool can do and how it should be used in your company. Classic PDF documents—which can be linked directly from the main navigation—are ideal for this, or—even better—our manuals.


How can we introduce older generations to new digital tools?

Valuable tips based on our many years of experience working with customers in the baking industry.

1. Start slowly:

Use specific, targeted features for your daily work. Restrict permissions.

2. Create incentives:

Spark curiosity and provide relevant information. Don’t ask yourself, “What do I want from my employees?” Ask yourself, “What do they want from me?”

3. Provide informational materials:

Prepare instructions for using intratool. As a PDF or—very conveniently—directly in an intratool manual.
