What to expect

Carolyn Clark and Victoria Dew open with findings from Dewpoint Communications’ Connecting the Frontline report. A panel with leaders from Pikeville Medical Center, Chicago Transit Authority and Kitsap Mental Health Services explores changes to their frontline communication models and the part managers played.

Sunrun’s session covers a staged approach to knowledge access, mobile access and AI-assisted answers. Dana Brennan discusses Grimmway Produce Group’s experience of reaching employees without company email and encouraging adoption. The closing session looks at how Renewal by Andersen brings frontline needs, communications and technology together to turn employee feedback into action.
