Success Stories: Symrise

"I believe that only human performance can lead to improving the overall organization’s performance. The Empower Works team has demonstrated the benefits of the adrenalin application to enhance my belief. They have also shown their deep commitment to support my belief."

C.Venkat, CEO, Symrise India

Symrise was formed in February 2003 through the merging the two international fragrance and flavor producers Dragoco and Haarmann & Reimer. They are among the front-runners in the AFF industry with total combined sales in 2002 amounting to Euro 1.24 billion.

Symrise's Position Today

Symrise operates in an industry that already has strong market consolidation with even further consolidation a definite trend. The industry faces tremendous price pressures from customers and so correspondingly faces demands on lowering their cost base or suffering shrinking margins.

Symrise’s corporate philosophy places a great deal of emphasis on their employees, who they consider to be their greatest assets. Employees are empowered to make decisions and take reasonable risks while encouraging them to learn from their mistakes. Symrise also actively seeks out individuals who are passionately involved with the business and are customer obsessed. Symrise's culture dictates that employees are open, honest, and transparent in their communications and that continuous feedback is their way of life in business

Thus in order to continue growing and becoming even more competitive their needs are to cut costs while at the same time ensuring they don’t stifle their corporate values of being employee friendly in the process of cutting costs. Indeed the need is to further empower employees and make them the most effective competitive edge they possess.

The Value Adrenalinet Offers

Adrenalinet is designed to help companies unleash their employee potential by creating an environment conducive to driving corporate performance. It does this while driving down costs associated with employee processes. It thus uniquely fit the twin-pronged needs of Symrise viz. to encourage employee empowerment and drive down costs.

At present, Symrise has decided to use select modules of Adrenalinet in its Indian operations. Adrenalinet will be available to the hundred or so employees, based in 4 locations in India, over the Internet. It will also link the relevant modules to Symrise’s existing payroll system allowing the exchange of data between both systems, thus extending the value of their legacy system and delivering a better return on investment. For example the leave management system in Adrenalinet would be linked with the Symrise payroll system.

Expected Benefits

By using Adrenalinet, Symrise would be able to:

Fuel Employee Productivity
Get Administrative Efficiency To Create A More Strategic Hr Department
Realize Significant Cost-Cutting
Allow Intelligent Decision Making
Ultimately Lead To Greater Employee Satisfaction

By using the self-service modules that put information at the fingertips of HR staff, Managers, and the entire workforce, employees at Symrise can expect to find their needs being met with immediate access to the information they seek. Besides this leading to greater employee satisfaction, Symrise can expect to cut administrative costs by: reducing the number of enquiries handled by HR personnel, increasing data accuracy, reducing the huge paper-form associated costs, and not in the least by providing workflow-supported self-service processes.

Besides the benefits Symrise can expect from Employee & Manager Self-Service , the reports that can be generated by Adrenalinet would help Symrise empower their employees to not only make decisions, but make better-informed decisions by providing continuous feedback to Managers thus enabling them to make better business decisions while mineralizing the risks.

We at Empower Works are extremely glad to work with a client who completely shares in our belief. We are certain that their goal of reaching out to employees while cutting costs will be achieved. We are also confident that once the impact of Adrenalinet is felt, the scale and scope of implementation will grow very quickly indeed.
