As digital frontline communication and collaboration tools become increasingly important for businesses, many are looking to improve employee engagement and boost employee retention with tools such as Beekeeper, WorkJam and other solutions in the market. But WorkJam is taking a deeper dive into the digital landscape for frontline workers to help decision makers understand the key differences between these tools. After all, there’s a reason why WorkJam has become known as the leader in the space.

 

WorkJam and Beekeeper are both popular digital frontline tools that offer businesses a range of functionalities to connect with their hourly and non-desk workforce.

 

While both products offer similar features, WorkJam stands out as a more flexible and all-in-one solution for businesses. 

 

In this article, we will discuss the top 10 ways WorkJam’s complete solution, referred to as Workforce Orchestration®, outperforms Beekeeper’s digital frontline technology.
