In this eye-opening episode of the Transform Your Workplace podcast, Brandon Laws talks with guest Cris Grossmann. He’s the CEO and Co-Founder of Beekeeper, a company committed to connecting non-desk or “frontline” employees through technology. Cris believes that a digital transformation of frontline workers, who make up 80% of the global workforce, can give companies a significant competitive advantage. In this episode, you’ll learn how to invest in your frontline workers through relevant, usable, all-in-one technology.

TAKEAWAYS

• Only 1% of all the venture capital goes into desk-less or frontline worker solutions, yet 80% of the global workforce is made up of these types of workers.
• Digitizing the frontline is no walk in the park, but rather a necessary process that requires careful planning. 
• Frontline workers need one companion app: one single point of contact for the frontline worker to get everything they need to be well-informed, engaged, and productive at work.
• A companion app for frontline workers must be simple, quick, and tailored to their needs.
• If a company is investing in technology for frontline workers and deploys the tools that make their lives easier, that's one of the biggest criteria for an employee’s decision to stay with or choose an employer.
