It’s easy to justify equipping your desk employees with the proper tools to do their daily job as they generally work from one location.
But what about your frontline and deskless employees?
Your frontline workers face a whole other set of barriers to communication that can make it difficult for them to be properly engaged. As they are primarily mobile and not always reachable, work can quickly become very isolating and disengaging.
A few questions you should ask internally:
If the answer is no to any of these three questions, then it might be time to reassess what your frontline workers actually want.
From our experience, we have found that what frontline workers want is:
- To feel like they matter to the company and their voices are heard
- To understand the company’s big picture goals (and how they contribute to those goals)
- Easy access to technology and resources
- To stop receiving irrelevant company communications
When you start to take those factors into account, you will naturally see employee engagement levels rise among your frontline workforce.
This can lead to increased efficiency, improved employee satisfaction, and more.
