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.
