COMPASS GROUP CANADA REACHES OUT TO EMPLOYEES WITH “CAFÉ”
How do you communicate with 27,000 employees who have no access to computers
at work? Until recently, that was the problem facing Compass Group
Canada, a Canadian food service provider, whose staff serves food in hospitals,
arenas, schools and corporate cafeterias.
“There’s no laptop; they’re not assigned a Compass employee email,” said Gavin
Clingbine, senior director of human resources for Compass Group Canada. “There’s
no need for them to have email in the job they’re doing.” Typically, a single computer
satisfies management needs. “But, if 27,000 of 29,000 do not have access to the intranet,
the challenge is engaging with these employees.”
