UPshow, the leading on-premise engagement platform, is excited to announce the strategic spinoff of its fast-growing employee engagement platform, into a new independent entity called Shift.

Maintaining clear, effective, and thorough communication with employees across multiple locations is a challenge for every operator. Ensuring all employees feel valued and properly trained is an even greater challenge.

Avamere Living understood the struggles of communicating with 4,000 staff who worked in 32 locations of the post-acute and rehabilitation centers scattered across the country.

This was one of the moments that helped Newell realize that information wasn’t cascading to all levels of his company’s footprint, which totals nearly 2,000 employees. Newell decided to install Shift in his stores, a portfolio which includes 36 Burger Kings, 34 Popeyes, and 3 Taco Johns.

Better communication generally translates to better sales, customer service, and overall operations. The team at Anderson Management, which operates seven Buffalo Wild Wings franchise locations throughout Montana, understands the impact that timely and easily actionable communication has on operational success.

Lindsay Luke is the human resources manager and training coordinator for Womac Group, a franchisee that owns four Buffalo Wild Wings locations in Michigan. Recently, she found a binder at one of the company’s storefronts that contained pivotal information regarding best practices. One problem: the information was from 2019.

Brothers Jason and Scott Zieman own and operate nine Jersey Mike’s locations, as well as five Little Caesars stores, in the Akron, Ohio area. The owner-operators have always been proud of the work culture they’ve built inside their businesses, dating back to the days when they were in the Arby’s system.
