Initial need and context

Initial context

With more than 1,500 employees, Traiteurs de France has a national reach. This is what motivated the deployment of Talkspirit within the network, to facilitate information sharing, transform the way of collaborating and increase internal synergies. 

Why did you choose Talkspirit? 

3 main assets of Talkspirit motivated Traiteurs de France to adopt the solution:

• ease of use
• Intuitive and accessibleplatform on all media (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• responsive customer service and technical support

Terms of deployment

The project was carried out by the Network Manager. Sure of the interest of an internal social network, he first had to convince the Bureau and the 36 caterers to join the project. Subsequently, ambassadors were appointed throughout the network to deploy Talkspirit and achieve the initial goals (generate more participation and exchanges). The creation of communities focused on expertises or on projects was a real need for the employees, in order to facilitate their exchanges and the sharing of information on common topics.
