Inside Ryanair: How to Make Frontline Comms Land

Reaching frontline employees at scale isn't a communication challenge. It's a strategic one. Ryanair's Internal Communications Manager James O'Connor and award-winning consultant Joanna Parsons share what it actually takes to make comms land with deskless teams, including:

Reach Every Employee

One central hub, instead of five disconnected channels

Email, noticeboards, group chats. Frontline employees are often reached through whatever's convenient, not what actually works. Workvivo brings communication into one mobile-first hub built for people who don't sit at a desk.

  • A single source of truth, instead of scattered updates across multiple channels
  • Push notifications that deliver time-sensitive updates directly, without waiting to be found
  • A mobile app frontline employees can access from their own phone, no company device needed
