Communicating to 600 employees can be really difficult because many of them don't have work email addresses. With TeamSense, we can now send text messages to communicate to our whole workforce or specific subgroups of them. It's been a strong part of the system for us.

Why Your Employee Communication Apps Aren’t Working

Most employee communication software is built for desk workers. Tools like Teams, Slack, and Zoom were not designed for frontline employees. Frontline workers often face challenges using traditional employee communication apps because they:

  • Must use their personal phones to download new apps.
  • Lack proper training or connectivity to fully engage with company communication software.
  • Face language barriers if the employee communication platform isn’t available in their native language.

Because of these hurdles, 4 in 10 frontline workers say they don’t have the right technology to do their jobs effectively. The disconnect doesn’t stop there:

  • 84% of frontline employees say they don’t get enough communication from management.
  • 75% feel out of the loop on important policy changes.

The Result? Disengagement.

Only 13% of frontline employees feel engaged at work. That disengagement leads to:

  •  Higher absenteeism
  •  More on-the-job mistakes
  •  Lower morale
  •  Increased turnover, driving up hiring and training costs

    The bottom line? Disengaged employees cost businesses $8.8 trillion globally in lost productivity.

    When we needed our employees come to the office to re-sign their I-9 forms, we just texted them through TeamSense. It worked so well for us! We assigned each employee a date and time to come in so we didn't have to chase anyone down.
