Digital shift: A vital first step
Transitioning from traditional ways to digital tools is a significant and necessary first step in enhancing the employee experience at the frontline. By adopting digital employee tools, organizations can significantly enhance their communication, collaboration, and engagement practices. Here are the top 20 reasons for adopting digital tools over traditional ways of doing things:
Traditional
Fragmented Communication
Relies on scattered emails, phone calls, and in-person meetings, which can lead to miscommunication and delays.
Limited Collaboration
Relies on physical meetings, printed documents, and manual sharing, limiting collaboration possibilities.
Delayed Updates
Relies on newsletters, bulletin boards, or word-of-mouth, leading to delays in information dissemination.
Lower Employee Engagement
Lacks interactive features, resulting in lower employee engagement and motivation.
Limited Mobile Accessibility
Restricts access to information and collaboration only through office computers.
Manual Onboarding
Relies on paper-based documentation and one-on-one training, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
Manual Task Management

Fragmented Digital Experiences vs. Unified Employee Experience
Making the case for a shift to an Employee SuperApp
Moving towards digital tools is an essential first step in modernizing the workplace and enhancing employee productivity across your frontline. However, simply adopting digital tools doesn't automatically solve all problems. Often, these tools are designed with only office workers in mind, leading to a fragmented and less than optimal experience particularly for deskless and frontline workers.
Frontline workers, who form a significant part of the workforce, are often left behind with little to no tools designed for their specific needs. This digital divide in the workplace not only hampers productivity but also leads to inequalities in employee experiences and engagement levels.
Furthermore, the cost of multiple siloed tools, both in terms of financial resources and time spent on training and troubleshooting, can be prohibitively high. To truly realize the full benefits of digitization, companies should consider moving towards a unified employee experience platform, or an Employee SuperApp. This approach not only bridges the gap between office and frontline workers, but also streamlines communication, enhances collaboration, and ultimately boosts overall productivity.
