plazza
30,000 members and is being rolled out internationally
Plazza, which will now be available to 75 % of the 170,000 Orange employees around the world, is "the employees’ link." It encourages communication between Group employees as part of the first phase of ‘Conquests 2015’ – placing men and women at the heart of the company.
voluntary
"plazza", which is strictly voluntary and not subject to managerial approval, encourages informal communications. Employees use a profile which they are free to enhance to create or join professional or personal communities.
Many beneficial uses have come to light through the professional communities. They help with networking and cross-functional contacts, guarantee that information remains confidential, speed up the dissemination of best practice and stimulate group creativity beyond organizational and geographic borders. Recent examples include the "IT system functions" community, or "Trainers' Avenue", which brings together professionals from all sorts of backgrounds who wish to discuss innovative approaches to training, such as ‘Social Learning'.
best practice
Built together with its members with a web 2.0 approach, "plazza" is constantly evolving on the basis of their feedback. The interface is now available in four languages: English, French, Spanish and Polish. By the end of 2012 it will include a dialogue tool and video sharing, and will also be available on mobile phone.
