80% of the world’s workforce doesn’t sit at a desk all day.
Instead they are on the shopfloor, in factories, out in the field, in the air or on the road.
Deskless and frontline workers are a massive, untapped talent pool for businesses. But many workers don’t have the opportunity to connect with the wider business or speak up about new ideas.
It’s time for that to change. It’s time to give all employees a voice.
Giving deskless workers a voice
For many businesses, there’s one facet of working life that remains stuck in the past: communication.
We spoke to more than 2,000 senior business decision makers, and 2,000 front-line workers across the UK and US in companies with 100+ employees, to get their thoughts on connectivity and empowerment within an organisation.
We found that many businesses have a long way to go. In fact:
- There is a major disconnect between HQ and deskless workers
- This disconnect is preventing the creation of new ideas and innovation
- Employees don’t feel listened to or feel valued
