in technology to strengthen the employee experience. By connecting its growing workforce and reinforcing its culture, digital innovation has become another key driver of the company’ s continued success.
“ We’ re focusing a lot on technology. In the FM industry where almost all our staff work externally on client sites, communication can be a challenge. Because of this, we decided to invest in our own app called‘ My Atlas’. The app connects all our 15,000 people and allows us to strongly promote our culture, recognising the efforts of individuals and creating communities where we can talk about performance. We’ ve also built in the ability for people to communicate with us directly, so if they want to talk to payroll or HR, they can instantly connect with the people that can fix their problems. It takes pressure off our frontline management and helps us fix issues quickly. We also have employee feedback surveys on the app, as well as our online training environment, Atlas Academy. We’ ve made My Atlas multilanguage so people can communicate in their preferred language.”
As Atlas celebrates 40 years in business, its focus remains firmly on the future. With continued investment in its people, technology and specialist services, the company is well-positioned to build on four decades of success while staying true to the culture that has defined it from the beginning.
“ We’ re evolving all the time. Right now, we’ re very much focused on becoming a solutions-based business rather than product-based. We’ re putting a great push on technology to help us improve our internal productivity and client outcomes, whilst coming together as‘ one Atlas’ as opposed to four separate business units as we are now.
