Frontline Employees Deserve First-Rate Support

Frontline employees are your vital link to customer satisfaction and success. They’re your brand ambassadors, your storytellers and present your biggest opportunity for influencing customers.

They’re also lowly paid, with high turnover. That’s why engaging and supporting frontline staff is crucial. Their working day is incredibly busy – either on the phone or face-to-face with customers. They have high information needs but low available time.

Communication formats must be the right fit for the environment – whether busy call centers, retail outlets, or home workers. Masters of multi-tasking, frontline staff require instant access to up-to-date information as they liaise with customers in real-time.

Features To Make Your Communications Work Harder

Special features of the SnapComms platform make communicating with frontline employees even more effective.

  • Active directories allow messages to be targeted to specific staff groups by location, role and user profile. Targeted communications then achieve high relevance and low wastage.
  • The pop-up notification format ensures higher cut-through for priority messages and higher response rates than traditional survey tools.
  • Administration rights allow nominated individuals across the business to communicate directly with front line staff. For example, Marketing might run new screensavers highlighting current promotional campaigns, or HR might run desktop wallpapers advising on support schemes available for staff.
  • Recurrence settings provide control over how frequently messages will reappear on employee screens until they are acted upon.
