Problem with Retaining Frontline Employees

Retaining frontline employees has become a significant challenge for many businesses, particularly after the Great Resignation. Frontline workers, often the first point of contact for customers and the backbone of many industries, are leaving their jobs at record rates. This demographic, which includes retail, hospitality, manufacturing, construction, and healthcare roles, is experiencing high turnover due to burnout, retirement, and the search for better opportunities. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, there are more than 10 million job openings but only 5.7 million unemployed people, indicating a significant gap. The problem is exacerbated by 50% of hourly workers quitting within the first four months. This high turnover disrupts workflows and hampers productivity, leading to a loss of institutional knowledge, which is crucial for business continuity. Furthermore, the cost of recruiting, hiring, and onboarding new workers often outweighs investing in tools and strategies to retain existing employees. Therefore, businesses are scrambling to develop effective retention strategies to keep their frontline workers.

Can Higher Engagement Retain Frontline Employees?

Frontline employees, often the first point of contact for customers, play a crucial role in shaping the customer experience and, by extension, a company’s reputation. However, engaging and retaining these employees can be a significant challenge due to physical distance from the rest of the team, lack of empowerment, stressful work conditions, and long working hours. Higher engagement can help retain these valuable workers. When frontline employees feel informed, valued, and connected to the organization, they are likelier to stay with the company, contribute positively to its culture, and deliver superior customer service. This engagement can be achieved through strong leadership, an inclusive culture, and quality digital tools that facilitate effective communication and information access. One such tool is CloudApper’s hrPad, a comprehensive HR solution to streamline HR processes and enhance employee engagement. With hrPad, companies can easily connect with their frontline workers, provide the necessary information, and make them feel a part of the team, increasing their engagement and retention.
