Frontline Workforce Engagement Study
What actually moves the needle on frontline engagement — and does it show up on the P&L?
To find out, we tracked 150 plants in the 90 days after deploying Redzone's Connected Workforce Solution, pairing before-and-after engagement surveys with independent onsite audits.
The results: Engagement scores rose 81%, employee turnover fell 35%, and OEE uplift hit 23% on average, with every single factory showing improvement. For example, one F&B manufacturer cut overtime to zero, increased output by 33%, and unlocked $2.6M in new sales.
The study isolates five measurable dimensions of frontline engagement — from worker ownership of performance to cross-team collaboration — and benchmarks what separates high-performing factories from low-performing ones at each stage.
The 2026 Frontline Engagement Workforce Study is a practical roadmap for every manufacturer, not just another report.
