Engaging the Deskless Workforce [Whitepaper]

Resources | August 17, 2021 | Last Updated: May 9, 2024 | 1 minute read

Today’s workforce is mobile. 80% of the global workforce, or 2.7 billion employees, are deskless and often outside office space. Warehouse workers, waiters, retail associates, drivers, landscapers, dishwashers, and thousands of other occupations do not have access to email and have little contact with executives and managerial staff. As a result, many of the workers are left feeling disconnected and their management struggles to find ways to effectively engage with them.

Last-minute scheduling fixes like company updates and birthday announcements are commonplace among white-collar workers but rarely exist among the deskless workforce. The lack of an adaptable and effective platform for engagement often translates to a workforce that feels disengaged from their company.

Today’s deskless workforce is looking for employers who invest in their wellbeing by offering opportunities for growth and development through mobile technology and reward systems that help them stay connected and feel appreciated.
