Johnsonville International
In 1945, Ralph F. and Alice Stayer opened a butcher shop and named it after their quaint hometown – Johnsonville, Wisconsin. Today, Johnsonville is headquartered in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, with their products now available all over America and in more than 45 countries, including China, Philippines, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Mexico, and Canada.
The Challenge
Cultural Communication Barriers and Hindered Remote Collaboration
As Johnsonville expanded, they faced cultural challenges and aimed to maintain company values across territories. The CEO highlighted the need for non-confrontational feedback with Filipino employees. The pandemic further hindered understanding of employee perspectives, especially in the Philippines. Johnsonville sought a solution to support remote collaboration and address these challenges effectively.
The Outcome
Improved Communication and Strengthened Company Values
Johnsonville used Sprout’s Pulse tool to run an anonymous engagement survey, uncovering sensitive concerns and improving cross-functional learning. The survey revealed communication issues tied to cultural dynamics, allowing Johnsonville to adjust practices and strengthen their company values as they expanded. The feedback provided actionable insights for improvement.
