R GRUPA, which is going to celebrate its 20th birthday this year, employs about 100 people located both on the fields in Latvian forests and ports and in the company\u2019s offices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur main challenge was the communication and engagement gap between differently located employees,\u201d says Kri\u0161j\u0101nis Caune, Head of Marketing in R GRUPA, who also happens to be the main initiator for Peero implementation in the company. \u201cTo foster the communication, we implemented a digital newspaper for our employees. It is released monthly and serves as a basis for the company\u2019s news, updates and other important information,\u201d explains Kri\u0161j\u0101nis. \u201cHowever, it was not enough. Even though it helped with the communication between employer and the employees, it did not promote internal communication between employees in different locations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Peero, as an easy-to-use, flexible and meantime comprehensive engagement platform seemed to answer all concerns regarding the virtual gap between the employees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first came to the leadership team with an idea of implementing Peero, there were concerns that field-employees would not use the new technology. It\u2019s typical for Latvians to start every change with a no\u201d smiles Kri\u0161j\u0101nis. \u201cNow we can proudly say that we were wrong about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After deciding to implement Peero, it was clear that it would do its job only if promoted and used throughout the company: in the leadership team, between office and field workers. \u201cThe importance of engaged management could not be enhanced enough\u201d, mentions Kri\u0161j\u0101nis. In addition, the company decided to share \u201cpine cones\u201d instead of classical Peero coins to make it coherent with the prestigious \u201cGolden Pine Cone\u201d award in the Latvian wood industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPeero has been doing its job exactly as we wanted. The engagement rate now is at 74%, and we are on the way to increasing that. There are different teams and different people who get the most pine cones every month. It promotes equity and equality; we care about that a lot.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The future plans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the company plans to use Peero as a communications tool: \u201cWe would like to send happy birthday wishes or other quick information through the notification functionality. We see that it can work very well; employees who are on the field also notice the messages, and it increases work satisfaction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To further increase the success of Peero, the company is planning to tie monthly pine cone recognition to the bonuses. \u201cWe plan that it will increase the engagement and ensure the continuous motivation for the employees to use the app with a different motivation\u201d, explains Kri\u0161j\u0101nis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cAs long as we, as an employer, will remain engaging, caring and interesting, employees will stay with us. And people are our greatest asset,\u201d concludes Kri\u0161j\u0101nis. \u201cPeero helps us to do just that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4155\" src=\"https:\/\/peero.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/R-Grupa-logo-300x91.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"67\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peero.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/R-Grupa-logo-300x91.png 300w, https:\/\/peero.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/R-Grupa-logo.png 383w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peero, fostering engagement across our teams, helped close the virtual gap between employees on the field and in the offices.
