“I can talk to the teams about the problems that really lead to a lack of motivation without having to hear about them myself. As the owner and boss, it’s not always easy to get answers. With MOnDAY.ROCKS, we can clearly see where we need to start in order to make our teams work more effectively.”

Interview with Marc Vollmer

Why did you decide to introduce MONDAY.ROCKS?
Poppe + Potthoff GmbH now has more than 1,500 employees. It is almost impossible to always know what is going well or not so well in the departments. With MONDAY.ROCKS, we can promote the development of the teams in a targeted manner. With regular queries and analyses, we can identify specific needs and overcome challenges with the right measures. For example, the team management software has helped us to break down silos. In general, we have noticed an improvement in collaboration in the business units and across the Group since the introduction. As a result, an attractive and motivated working culture has been established.

What added value do you see in the current application?
With the team management software, we have succeeded in identifying optimization potential and weak points in collaboration. To this end, team members are surveyed as part of the potential analysis. As the survey is anonymous, we can rely on honest feedback that reveals the actual challenges. Some of the resulting recommendations for action can be implemented very quickly. This gives managers a compass for the points they can work on to improve team collaboration. The individual business units become comparable for the first time and group-wide issues, problems and weak points can be identified. The impact is immediately apparent in the follow-up surveys.

What particularly inspired you?
Right from the beginning, we were impressed by the excellent and close cooperation. The direct coordination of topics and the preparation of discussions ensured that we were able to use the software quickly and see a positive development within a short period of time. The impact of the results was felt by all participants and on team performance.
