Report: Frontline Workers Want A Path, Not Just Perks

Drew Brees, Super Bowl MVP quarterback, Co-Owner of Surge Entertainment and Smalls Sliders, and a Schoox customer, connected with Forbes to talk about how frontline workers really are looking for a path forward at work, not just perks. The article draws on a recent Schoox survey of 1,000 frontline employees across hospitality, retail, restaurant and manufacturing, which found that young workers value real career development over gimmicky perks and want training that’s more engaging, more hands-on, and more directly tied to their day-to-day work. Brees discusses why training quality, not just training volume, is what actually changes performance, how a strong learning experience builds the confidence and pride that keep people invested in their work, and why leaders who show frontline employees a clear path forward are the ones who earn their loyalty.
