Getting Personal with Compt

What do frontline workers really want from leadership? (Spoiler: it’s not another HR email.)

In this episode of Getting Personal with Compt, we sit down with Victoria Dew, Founder & CEO of Dewpoint Communications, who has spent nearly 20 years helping companies actually connect with their people—especially the ones who don’t sit behind a desk.

We dig into:
✅ Why frontline workers feel unheard—despite making up 70–80% of the global workforce
✅ What companies get wrong about employee communication
✅ Why tech alone won’t fix engagement (looking at you, “culture platforms”)
✅ The power of listening as a business strategy
✅ How managers shape wellbeing, retention, and trust more than any app ever will
✅ Real strategies to build connection, loyalty, and resilience—at scale

Victoria also shares insights from her new report, Connecting the Frontline, based on research across 18 industries—from construction and healthcare to manufacturing and food & beverage. If you lead people, work in HR or internal comms, or simply care about building a workplace that works, this conversation will shift how you think.

What is Getting Personal with Compt?

In an era where the line between work and life blurs, we're asking: why do we still treat employees less like humans and more like machines? There's plenty of talk about "enhancing the employee experience" but the conversation overlooks the core of it all - the human experience.

Getting Personal with Compt, hosted by Head of Brand and Communications Lauren Schneider, ditches the formalities and gets real with trailblazers and thought leaders who simply give a hoot about humanity. Join us as we explore the successes and challenges of shaping a workplace where people come first.
