Overview
Empower Frontline Workers and You’ll Power Your Business
Frontline employees are the backbone of every organization. They’re the grocery clerks, manufacturing workers, call center representatives, hotel housekeepers, and retail associates who keep the world running. Yet, despite making up 70 to 80 percent of the global workforce, they are often treated as an afterthought. The Frontline Enablement Playbook is here to change that.
Written by JD Dillon, founder of LearnGeek and passionate advocate for the frontline, this book is a practical guide for HR, L&D, and operations professionals who want to do better by their deskless teams. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience and insights from over 100 global practitioners and actual frontline workers, Dillon delivers the first-ever playbook designed to help you build a frontline experience that’s resilient, adaptable, and human-centered.
Inside, you'll dive deep into six parts that redefine frontline support:
- Understanding who frontline workers really are—and what they need
- Architecting a modern enablement ecosystem
- Empowering frontline managers to empower their employees
- Helping frontline workers do a great job today
- Fostering future opportunities for development
- Evolving your entire strategy to get that all-important buy-in
This book is packed with tools and tactics that work—whether you’re looking to improve training, manage change more effectively, enhance communication, or support manager well-being. Modular by design, you can read the entire story or pick and choose specific sections to address timely needs. You’ll find frameworks like the Modern Learning Ecosystem, stories from the field, and letters from frontline workers themselves.
Stop just saying your frontline is essential and start proving it. Because when your frontline thrives, your business does too.
