Are you tired of constantly losing valuable employees? Employee turnover is not only costly for your business, but it also affects team morale and productivity. 

The good news is that there are solutions to reduce employee turnover and improve communication within your organization. 

In this blog post, we will share four tips in which business communication solutions can help you retain top talent, create a more engaged workforce, and thus increase sales. 

Employee surveys can provide insightful data to employers and HR professionals about employee morale or collective attitudes about aspects of the workplace. Companies that regularly survey their workers in an effective way have more opportunities to improve frontline employee communications. Still, many need more time or resources to know how to design an effective survey that yields beneficial results. Enter goHappy Hub—a platform built exclusively for employee-centric engagement and feedback that empowers organizations with proven best practices in sending out employee surveys.

Let's face it: organizations crave high engagement levels from their frontline employees but are often short of ideas on exactly how to accomplish this. 

Your frontline employees work hard. And amid busy schedules and the holiday rush, it can be easy to overlook showing them how much you appreciate their dedication to your organization.

Hourly workers often put in more than 40-hour work weeks during the holiday season — especially amid a labor crisis — and miss out on celebrations with family and friends. 

Although frontline employees receive overtime pay for their extra hours, it’s a requirement by the department of labor. 

Rewarding your hourly workers beyond what is expected of you, especially when they sacrifice so much, is essential to let them know you care. 

Engaged employees have higher productivity levels, lower absenteeism rates, and greater job satisfaction. 

In addition, companies with high employee engagement tend to financially outperform those with low engagement scores.

Although the positive outcomes from engaged employees speak for themselves, many businesses still need help to proactively engage their frontline workers.

Employee engagement is one of the most important indicators in gauging satisfaction in work. This is especially true amongst Front Line Workers. People are looking for more than just a 9-to-5 job these days. They crave to be involved in their work, and want to be enthusiastic about the organization they work for and to be committed to those they work with.

As a restaurant owner or manager, you know how quickly a tiny setback can spiral into full-blown bedlam. 

Restaurant workers are still quitting their jobs at an alarming rate. According to economists, the quit rate in hospitality and food service is nearly double that of the national average coming in at 6% vs 3%.

At the start of the pandemic, organizations scrambled to get online, set up curbside shopping, and restructure how to get work done and stay in business. It was like everyone was in fight or flight mode.

Those who fought (mostly) survived – and this fight to stay alive, forced companies to find new ways to do business. 

Many of these changes ended up being for the better. Namely, how the world views frontline employees. Before the pandemic, frontline workers were often considered expendable and easily replaced. But now, businesses know better. 

There’s nothing like a global pandemic to highlight poor employee communication. Especially in industries where workers need to physically show up for work.

Frontline and hourly workers make up 80% of our global workforce, and for industries like restaurant, retail, and manufacturing, they represent the largest percentage of the workforce.
