Beyond the Intranet: Empowering the Frontline with WorkJam’s Push and Pull Capabilities

For decades, intranets have been the backbone of corporate communications. They’re packed with information, policies, updates, and resources. But here’s the challenge: frontline employees—the people who need this information the most—often struggle to access it.

Between forgotten passwords, hard-to-navigate interfaces, and pages overloaded with content, intranets create friction. They rely entirely on “pull” communication, meaning an employee must actively search for what they need. If they don’t know where to look or don’t have the time, critical information remains out of reach.

At WorkJam, we take a different approach. We combine the best of both worlds: seamless access to pull information and the ability to push key updates directly to frontline teams. This is Workforce Orchestration® in action—connecting, engaging, and empowering employees with the right information at the right time.

Why Frontline Teams Need More Than Just an Intranet

Imagine you’re a frontline employee in a retail store, a hospital, a grocer, C-Store or a logistics hub. You’re on the floor, juggling customer requests, completing operational tasks, and managing inventory. You don’t have the time—or the login credentials—to dig through an intranet portal for a last-minute policy update or a shift change request.

Traditional intranet challenges include:

✅ Difficult Access: Password resets, VPN requirements, desktop-only interfaces, lack of intelligent search, limit accessibility.

✅ Information Overload: Finding one critical update buried in a sea of policies and documents is frustrating.

✅ Lack of Real-Time Updates: Employees may not check the intranet frequently, missing time-sensitive changes.

✅ No Personalization: Intranets treat all employees the same, pushing generic content instead of targeted, role-specific updates.

WorkJam: The Best of Both Worlds
