The first thing that greets employees on their computers as they start their workday is the DS Community. With the new automatic start feature employees have direct access to a range of useful information.

The DS Community is the global platform connecting employees all over the world. As a digital workplace it functions as a hub for internal communications and networking. It keeps employees posted on important news. This can be information on Dentsply Sirona product releases, specific locations or recorded Global Townhalls. As well, special news bulletins such as Coronavirus updates, or announcements about special occasions like International Women’s Day are available via the DS Community. Also the DS Community offers daily updated information about company relevant topics as first source of information.

Through Yammer, Dentsply Sirona links the DS Community to a social network that operates like a workplace version of Facebook. Employees can start a discussion open to all employees or join or create a group for a specific team. Blogs are also accessible via Yammer – Don Casey’s CEO blog for example and several others such as the Supply Chain blog, the North America RCO blog or the HR blog. With DS Talk and DS Tunes, employees have the possibility to tune in to podcasts of conversations and discussions about projects, people and events, as well as trends and topics in dentistry.

The latest feature, DS Maps, brings Dentsply Sirona sites all over the world together with a click. The interactive World Map contains useful information for traveling and an overview of business activities and areas of business represented. Interviews with local office staff provide an opportunity to learn more about the office culture, team events and unique characteristics of the site.

Above all, the DS Community is a space for every employee to share ideas, best practices and bring up topics that are of interest for Dentsply Sirona as one global team. Employees thus have a central role to play in bringing the DS Community to life and the opportunity to personalize and co-create the content.
