Section 87(1)(6) of the Works Constitution Act (BetrVG) provides for a right of co-determination regarding the introduction and use of technical devices designed to monitor employees\u2019 behaviour or performance.

This article does not constitute legal advice.   <\/p><p>Transparency builds trust: Explain clearly what data is collected, what analyses are possible, who can view private messages, how voluntary and mandatory use is handled, and what alternatives are available to staff without a suitable device.<\/p><h3>Devices, registration and identities<\/h3><p>Clarify whether the plan involves the use of personal smartphones, company-issued devices, shared devices or browser access. This will determine the requirements for login, multi-factor authentication, mobile device management, offline use, support and the separation of personal and work-related data. The BSI points out that mobile devices and applications present specific security risks and entail particular requirements for secure operation and management.  <\/p><p>User management should not be planned solely for the initial import. New hires, departures, changes of location and changes in roles must be reliably tracked.

Technical and editorial work should be carried out in parallel. <\/p><h3>Building an information architecture<\/h3><p>The menu, groups, roles and page structure are organised around the tasks carried out by staff. It is not the organisational structure alone that matters, but rather how quickly relevant content can be found. Test typical workflows: opening a safety document, finding a contact person, retrieving shift information or opening a form.  <\/p><h3>Preparing the initial content<\/h3><p>An empty app doesn\u2019t make a good first impression. At launch, it should at least include the following: <\/p><ul><li>a brief explanation of its purpose and benefits,<\/li><li>Help with registration, navigation and data protection,<\/li><li>up-to-date news tailored to specific target groups,<\/li><li>relevant contacts, locations or directories,<\/li><li>frequently used documents and services,<\/li><li>a clear channel for feedback and support,<\/li><li>a robust editorial plan for the first few weeks.<\/li><\/ul><p>Every piece of content requires an owner, an approval process, a target audience and an update schedule. Out-of-date documents should not be migrated without being checked first. <\/p><h3>Testing integrations<\/h3><p>When it comes to SSO, HR systems, Microsoft 365, calendars or specialist applications, a successful data import alone is not enough. Check permissions, the direction of updates, error handling, logging and behaviour upon joining, changing roles and leaving. Each integration requires a business and a technical point of contact.  <\/p><p>On the \u2018Planning and Implementation\u2019 page, Polario describes its typical process, from kick-off, deployment and CMS implementation, through content creation and publication, to<a href=\"https:\/\/polario.app\/en\/planning-realization\/\"> evaluation and further development<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a38ed55 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a38ed55\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afd524d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"afd524d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">6.

Key figures and review dates.<\/li><\/ul><p>Depending on the organisation, a phased roll-out by site or employee group may be more appropriate than a company-wide launch. The decision depends, amongst other things, on the number of users, technical complexity, support capacity and urgency. <\/p><h3>Launch communications<\/h3><p>Frontline workers often cannot be reliably reached by email. You should therefore use a combination of management communications, team meetings, shift handover briefings, notice boards, QR codes, letters and existing digital channels. The message should highlight the personal benefits rather than simply announcing the new tool.  <\/p><p>Managers and local points of contact must be prepared before the general launch. If they are unable to answer questions or continue to use conflicting channels at the same time, the new app will quickly lose credibility. You should also agree on which tasks the internal helpdesk will handle and when external <a href=\"https:\/\/polario.app\/en\/service-support\/\">service and support <\/a>will be brought in.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cce7582 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cce7582\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/polario.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mitarbeiter-app-go-live-checkliste.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"employee-app-go-live-checklist\" data-elementor-lightbox-description=\"The go-live is ready when the technology, content, access, management, support and measurement all work together seamlessly.\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTEwODQsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9wb2xhcmlvLmFwcFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvMjAyNlwvMDhcL21pdGFyYmVpdGVyLWFwcC1nby1saXZlLWNoZWNrbGlzdGUud2VicCJ9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1672\" height=\"941\" src=\"https:\/\/polario.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mitarbeiter-app-go-live-checkliste.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-51084\" alt=\"Six checkpoints for the go-live of an employee app\" srcset=\"https:\/\/polario.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mitarbeiter-app-go-live-checkliste.webp 1672w, https:\/\/polario.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mitarbeiter-app-go-live-checkliste-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/polario.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/mitarbeiter-app-go-live-checkliste-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1672px) 100vw, 1672px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The go-live is ready when the technology, content, access, management, support and measurement all work together seamlessly.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58f1919 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"58f1919\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc615da elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cc615da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">8.
