    Bob Clements, President, Axsium Group
    Scott Van Brunt, Chief Operating Officer, Crew

    For the almost 100 million frontline workers in the U.S., ‘state-of-the-art’ communication is the same as it’s been for decades: paper schedules, notices, and policies all posted to a break room bulletin board. Before COVID-19, this approach was already dated, ineffective, and lacking accountability. Now, as businesses around the world react to the pandemic, organizations of all sizes are realizing they need a way to engage directly—and rapidly—with frontline employees.  


    In this fireside chat with Bob Clements, workforce management expert and President of the Axsium Group, we’ll explore how leading companies are embracing employee mobility solutions for frontline teams as a superior alternative to the status quo and why COVID-19 has accelerated this trend so dramatically. We’ll explore how these companies are digitizing their communication, empowering their workforces, and realizing significant gains. We’ll also examine the implications for companies who fail to make this shift, including potential risks to operations, the customer experience, and employee morale.
