Felipe García, IT manager at Brenntag Iberia, states: "Brenntag Iberia is a modern organization with a growing interactive portal, which offers our employees a broad range of updated services and information on what is happening in the company." Up to now, access to the corporate portal by our employees in Spain and Portugal was only possible via company computers. But because production employees typically do not have their own computers at work, they were unable to use the portal. "The larger the portal became, the farther these workers lagged behind their office colleagues," says Felipe García. The electronic kiosk, promoted by Human Resources, is designed to close this technological and informational gap. Now all employees have access to the system and can find out about the latest developments in the Brenntag group, inform themselves about company policies and quality standards, print out pay stubs and manage emails. The kiosk is equipped with a magnetic card reader, so that employees only have to swipe their ID cards and enter their 4-digit PIN. The system recognizes the user and customizes the content it displays. Frédéric Pierre, President Brenntag Iberia, comments: "We hope that introducing this new information system will help motivate and integrate all employees and better consolidate corporate culture." New services are planned for the portal, including an e-learning platform to allow production employees to easily participate in training courses (e.g. in safety).
