How to energize and retain your frontline workforce

See our solutions in action.

Break through the frontline worker disconnect

90% of all companies rely on deskless workers in some way, and the retention of frontline workers is a critical aspect of human resource management, particularly in industries where employees are directly involved in providing services, engaging with customers, or producing goods. Today’s workers expect more from their employers, and companies in frontline industries face a revolving door of dissatisfied employees amid labor shortages.

Give workers more control and flexibility
Meet the needs of your whole workforce, including contingent and frontline workers, by providing easy controls and flexibility to support their success.

Unlock your workforce’s potential
Meet the needs of your frontline leaders and give them tools to help them engage their workforce, reduce costs, and deliver high-quality goods and customer experiences, in any industry, including regulated, unionized, and product-focused industries.


Prioritize health and safety
Manage environmental health and safety effectively with easy-to-use tools, and instill a culture of safety across your organization to help reduce workplace accidents.

Be an employer of choice for deskless workers

  • Put them in the driver’s seat

    Provide easy access to schedules and earned wages, step-by-step guidance, and answers to their questions.

  • Help them build relationships

    Foster networking and relationship building to help workers feel a sense of belonging, no matter where they’re located.

  • Invest in them now and in the future

    Help your people grow so they’re more likely to stay—whether it’s through upskilling, reskilling, or helping them find their next internal opportunity.

  • Show them you care

    Commit to their health and safety so they can focus on serving your customers well.

“We participated in the early adopter program for Oracle Workforce Scheduling. It’s fairly easy to implement because we have all our core HR data already there, since it’s part of Oracle HCM. Most organizations have spent a lot of time integrating their HR and scheduling systems. Having that integration already done saves implementation time and improves the accuracy of decisions in scheduling because it has up-to-date employment and talent data.”
