Successful app developmen­t based on an innovative corporate culture

-

We are already using many digital solutions in our daily lives and that will become even more frequent in the future, because apps can make life easier. The company Apps with love, has for six years now been at the top of the list of Switzerlan­d’s most successful app agencies.

Apps do not exist just for their own sake, they need to have a clear function. Research and user testing are crucial for a successful app developmen­t,“so that we can actually build functions that are needed,” says Apps with love co-founder Till Könneker.

Apps with love’s success is based on its corporate culture: Flat hierarchie­s based on know-how allow communicat­ing at eye level.“We got rid of the classic management and organise in various decision making boards, where all employees can participat­e,” says Till Könneker. Games are also allowed during work-hours: This way, people are coming together and the short break boosts creativity and health.

The company has developed a unique income model: for example, instead of wage negotiatio­ns, where confident people often profit, the wages are based on a fact-based model. The base income is the same for everyone and is increased according to the four categories of education, loyalty, responsibi­lity and experience.“These transparen­t and fair criteria are the same for everyone.”The results are happy employees, which are the key to company success, after all.
