How are frontline staff engaged?

Engaging frontline staff involves creating a positive work environment where they feel valued, motivated, and connected to the organization's goals. This can be achieved through effective communication through a frontline employee portal or app for frontline comms, as seen in software like intranets or employee experience platforms.

Unily, for example, can help provide frontline employees with opportunities for skill development, and recognize and reward their contributions. It can also involve them in decision-making processes and foster a sense of teamwork and belonging.
