Listen Later

Sean Higgins, Organizational Change Manager for Insight Global, has empathy for the frontline workers after his time working at a grocery store. He uses this empathy to better relate to those deskless workers and the struggles that they face on a daily basis. 

On this episode of Frontline Innovators, Sean and Justin discuss how the deskless worker can be better prepared for the changes in technology that they face. 

 

 

Takeaways 

 

  • The way in which the roles will be changing for frontline employees in terms of new technology being implemented is one of the biggest challenges they face. 
  • Having empathy for those working on the frontline is extremely important. The struggles that they face are important to management and should be taken notice of. 
  • When working for a grocery store, Sean noticed the positive change of introducing new technology into the store, such as being able to communicate with any other employee at a moment’s notice to answer any questions.
  • Change saturation is about assessing the changes that are happening within the organization.
  • Management doesn’t want to deflect you from anything that can make the frontline worker more successful.
  • You need to be able to stand firm on your goals and know when they are not on track, and what to do to get them back on track.


  • Quote of the show:

     

    9:30 "​​When I went into some of the stores as part of the team to develop the training, update the communications and so forth - there was, I don't want to say equal group, but - there was a group of people, very excited about being able to use technology in their day-to-day work.

    So maybe they had been in a role in that store for a few years. They'd done different things, different departments. Now they're introducing this kind of new, fresh way of working. It's got a high profile, you get a different shirt than the rest of the employees. So you also want to leverage that too.”
