Desafíos

Managing engagement for a large, deskless factory workforce brought unique operational challenges:

• High absenteeism and punctuality issues across rotating shifts

• Inconsistent safety compliance, leading to near-misses and increased incident risk

• Low visibility of recognition, with shop floor efforts often going unnoticed

• Communication gaps between management and workers across plants and shifts

• Limited participation in skill development programs, impacting production flexibility

• Financial stress among frontline workers, affecting focus and retention

‍

Personas involved

• Factory Workforce (Operators, Technicians, Warehouse Staff): Earn recognition, incentives, and rewards for productivity, safety compliance, skill upgrades, and team milestones.

• Plant HR & Admin Teams: Design frontline engagement programs, track participation, and ensure policy alignment.

• Production & Safety Managers: Drive shift performance, safety adherence, and continuous improvement on the shop floor.

• Plant Leadership: Monitor workforce morale, productivity trends, and safety outcomes across facilities.

• Program Admin / Super Admin: Configure incentive rules, manage reward catalogs, integrations, and governance.

The solution

The manufacturer needed a single, scalable engagement platform that could reach every worker—regardless of shift, language, or device access.

Xoxoday Empuls delivered a mobile-first frontline engagement ecosystem, replacing fragmented incentive schemes with structured, transparent, and motivating programs.

1. Shift-based incentives for productivity & attendance: Xoxoday Empuls enabled daily and weekly rewards for shift-level output targets, punctuality streaks, and attendance milestones. Instant mobile recognition kept workers motivated throughout production cycles.

2. Safety compliance rewards: Shop floor teams earned points for PPE adherence, safety drill completion, near-miss reporting, and accident-free days. Team-based safety rewards reinforced collective responsibility and vigilance.

3. Multilingual mobile communication: Critical updates—process changes, safety alerts, and recognition moments—were delivered directly to workers’ smartphones in regional languages, ensuring information reached every shift without delay.

4. Skill certification & cross-training incentives: Workers were rewarded for completing machine certifications, cross-skilling programs, and technical training. Learning incentives encouraged upskilling and improved production line flexibility.

5. Financial wellness benefits: Xoxoday Empuls supported financial wellbeing through literacy programs, emergency assistance initiatives, and savings-oriented benefits—reducing reliance on informal lending and improving workforce stability.

6. Production milestone celebrations: Entire production lines and warehouse teams were recognized for achieving batch targets, quality benchmarks, and shipment deadlines ahead of schedule—building camaraderie and shared ownership.

7. Seamless integration with factory systems: Xoxoday Empuls integrated with attendance, payroll, and Darwinbox, enabling automated incentive triggers based on real production and attendance data—eliminating manual tracking.
