Manufacturing
Keep manufacturing employees safe & boost productivity with direct communication.
theEMPLOYEEapp is an employee engagement & communication app made for frontline workers in manufacturing. We understand the challenges of getting critical, time-sensitive updates to manufacturing teams, and building culture & engagement, all while maintaining a safety culture.
Streamline & Simplify Comms
Manufacturing workers don’t have time to check multiple channels while on the floor. That’s why our app is a central hub of resources and information.
Ensure Shop Floor Safety
Decreasing safety incidents is a top manufacturing goal. Give employees access to trainings, safety reminders, and knowledge checks all from one mobile platform.
Improve Union Relations
An equitable, targeted & personalized internal comms strategy can help build a positive culture. Target content across multiple profiles to reach your audiences.
Challenges in Manufacturing
Safety and efficiency are always top of mind, but employee relations, engagement, and digital experiences are just as important.
Low engagement. Gallup research shows that only 33% of employees are engaged across all sectors. But only 25% of manufacturing employees are engaged at work.
Labor shortage. With over 25% of the manufacturing workforce being 55+ there may be a shortage of 2 million workers in the industry by 2030.
Digital transformation. Manufacturing companies who embrace digital transformation and data-driven processes are more competitive than those that don’t (IndustryWeek and Oracle).
The Power of Communication in Manufacturing Industries
How you communicate with your manufacturing workforce makes all the difference for hiring, retaining, and engaging your workers.
Hiring and retention. With a looming labor shortage, finding staff and creating excellent employee experiences for them is essential.
Reskilling. One strategy for retention (and improved efficiency) is to focus on reskilling and developing your existing workforce.
Diversity. To fill open positions and unlock new levels of innovation, manufacturers have to focus on DEI.
