AT&T and Axonify win gold for transforming frontline operations into a competitive advantage

Posted on: November 12, 2025

AI-powered frontline operations platform delivers up to 127% improvement in KPIs across 30,000+ AT&T employees within 60 days.

WATERLOO, ON – November 11, 2025 — AT&T and Axonify, the frontline operations platform for customer‑facing enterprises, won Gold in the Best Use of Performance Support category at the 2025 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards. The winning program equips more than 30,000 AT&T retail, in‑home and call center employees with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to drive sales and deliver consistent customer experiences—in just minutes a day. Axonify connects people, priorities, and performance within the flow of work, enabling every location to execute with clarity and consistency.

The challenge: consistent execution at scale

With thousands of locations and constantly shifting priorities, AT&T needed a way to keep teams customer‑ready without pulling employees off the floor. Traditional programs weren’t addressing real performance gaps in the moment. Axonify’s AI‑powered platform personalizes the experience for each employee and delivers short, targeted bursts—just 3–5 minutes per shift—on the devices staff already use to serve customers.

“This program isn’t just a training thing—it’s a reimagined employee experience that connects communications, learning, and performance. By embedding enablement directly into the flow of work, we’ve seen measurable lifts in employee sentiment and business KPIs at scale,” said Mark Gil, Director of Frontline Training at AT&T. “This isn’t just an award; it’s proof of the impact a true partnership can have.”

Breakthrough business results

The partnership delivered outcomes that demonstrate the power of intelligent, targeted enablement:

  • Up to 127% improvement in critical sales and customer satisfaction KPIs within 60 days
  • 5× increase in knowledge base usage, improving point-of-need support
  • 69% frontline adoption, with employees engaging an average of 8.3 days per month

Beyond training: A platform for continuous performance improvement

AT&T’s use of Axonify moves beyond one‑time training to an always‑on performance system. The platform identifies gaps in real time, delivers targeted interventions, and sustains long‑term improvements in execution—turning every customer interaction into an opportunity to strengthen brand experience and drive revenue.

“This award recognizes what’s possible when you move beyond one-time training to continuous enablement. You keep teams poised to deliver the customer experiences that drive business value,” said Melissa Burghardt, CEO of Axonify. “When frontline teams are truly ready to perform, every customer interaction becomes both a revenue opportunity and a consistent brand experience that builds lasting loyalty. This is the future of frontline enablement.”
