From practice - for practice
We have been creating optimal framework conditions for digital employee communication since 2002.
With a focus on the EFQM model, the idea of the Collaboration Platform was already born in 2002 by the Ideas Workshop at Schindlerhof. The excellence company Schindlerhof, Winner European Quality Award of the EFQM & four-time winner of the highest German quality award of the initiative LEP, leading conference hotel in Germany, awarded at TOP SERVICE Germany 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 (1st place B2B) as well as Germany's best employer at Great Place to work 2013 and 2018 - across industries up to 500 employees - is also special award winner Knowledge & Competence thanks to HUMANSTARSapp.
The platform, which has been continuously developed by HUMANSTARSapp as a spin-off together with the Schindlerhof team and existing customers for 20 years in practical use and has proven itself across industries in more than 800 medium-sized companies, large companies, banks, law firms, associations, medical institutions, cities and municipalities / municipal companies, schools and associations in 120 countries, is available online and mobile or as an app for smartphones and tablets - to support transparency, networking, mobile communication and optimal services. Pleasure in the implementation and use of the system - the user rate of the platform is 80-95%.
For the Schindlerhof - Center for Business Excellence, "excellence" means being holistically oriented. It concerns all conceivable stakeholders (e.g. customers, employees, suppliers, partners, owners, etc.). The collaboration platform is therefore used in holistic communication, internally and externally.
In addition to HUMANSTARSindex - instrument for self-reflection (EX) / 360° feedback (digitalization of the mission statement) and HUMANSTARSinnovation - CIP (continuous improvement process / company suggestion scheme & idea management, collaboration), we were the first company in Germany to develop the employee app for digital communication and information of all employees at the Schindlerhof as a web app and PC version.
The system was further developed in 2010 as a hybrid application (HTML5). Currently on the market is the 4th generation of the app, which is designed in cooperation with VR Bank Starnberg (joint IT security and data protection concept, Bafin/MaRisk, EU-DSGVO, own servers in Germany with Docker technology - no cloud solution, ISO27001) as a fully native app specifically for the operating system of the respective end devices (iOS & Android), PC/browser and TV/infoscreens and is being agilely developed in close coordination.
When it comes to IT security, we make no compromises. For stability and security reasons, we offer the HUMANSTARSapp app exclusively as a fully native app (analogous to LinkedIn, Facebook, WhatsApp) with a native editor & container and do not use rich text editors with Javascript and HTML (hybrid employee apps) for the entire platform (app, browser and TV/infoscreens). Since these programming languages are not standard on mobile devices, it opens up opportunities to inject malware into the app. This is proven by our regular external penetration tests.
Your data is all located on our servers in Germany. Sub-contractors are also located exclusively in Germany. If desired, you can also run our system as a tunnel connection or on-premise on your own server. Regular external penetration tests, new features and ongoing improvements in coordination with our customers as well as regular security updates are done automatically.
We love New Work. Highly motivated, innovative minds, genuine cordiality and a burning passion for work are our recipe for success.
Our team members work where they want. With us at Schindlerhof or remotely. Full time or part time.
