Empower the Frontline with Instant Communication

Each year, National Receptionists’ Day on the second Wednesday in May recognizes the valuable contributions of receptionists. May is the perfect month to show appreciation by providing them with the tools they need to solve daily challenges.

According to a recent white paper from Google, frontline workers make up 80% of the workforce and they are the lifeblood of the hospitality industry. 

When it comes to workplace tech, frontline workers are a historically underserved population — even though they’re highly influential in driving customer decisions. 73% of consumers say customer service drives their purchase decisions, and 65% find great customer service more influential than great advertising.

Since frontline workers are clearly so valuable in driving consumer purchasing power, it’s shocking that they aren’t given the proper technology needed to communicate.

A 2019 study by Speakap found that 53% of frontline workers use messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger up to six times a day for work-related reasons. However, 68% of them said they would stop if they were provided with approved instant messaging apps for corporate communication tools. And all this was before the coronavirus pandemic.

This data clearly shows that frontline workers need a way to communicate while they’re at work. When they aren’t provided with the appropriate technology to do so, they’re forced to turn to unsecure workarounds like WhatsApp for free instant messaging services.

Email is not always the most effective tool for reaching the team, especially when time-sensitive news needs to be communicated quickly. This is why employees need instant communication tools that are mobile, easy to use, and reliable
