StaffConnect Releases New eBook: "How Can Enterprises Overcome the Global Employee Engagement Crisis That Impacts 2.7 Billion Deskless Employees"LONDON and SAN FRANCISCO, May 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StaffConnect, the leading provider of mobile employee engagement solutions for the deskless workforce, today announced that its new eBook, entitled “How Can Enterprises Overcome the Global Employee Engagement Crisis That Impacts 2.7 Billion Deskless Employees,” is now available. The new eBook examines why individuals often become disengaged, pointing to the statistic that 80 percent of the global workforce (consisting of 2.7 billion deskless employees) are deployed remotely and offsite, according to Emergence Capital1. The eBook outlines how mobile technologies can inspire employee engagement and turn this trend around. Deskless employees face more limitations than those onsite in terms of communication and access to company systems, which negatively impacts their level of engagement and, as a result, bottom line success. The Bureau of National Affairs reports that $11 billion is lost each year due to employee turnover – a consequence of employee disengagement.

While telecommuting and other forms of remote working need not lead to out-of-the-loop workers if the right technology tools and platforms are used, many businesses haven’t prioritized a systematic approach for facilitating reliable two-way communication with their deskless staff to increase engagement. Often these deskless workers lack even the basics when it comes to internal communication. As a result, the vast majority (84 percent) of deskless employees receive too little communication to perform their jobs effectively, according to Tribe Inc.2 These individuals may find themselves dealing with:
The business benefits of full-company engagement are numerous and clear. When employees feel invested in an organization and are ommitted to helping the company reach its mission and goals, it bolsters brand advocacy. Engagement also improves mutual trust, feelings of credible leadership, employee job/career satisfaction, and accountability, with more focused staff keen to take up new challenges and adopt a problem-solving attitude. This positivity can lead to better performance, increased productivity, and higher profit for the entire organization. The eBook describes how new mobile engagement technologies such as StaffConnect’s platform offer a solution for driving up engagement levels, and can help deskless workers in a number of ways, including the ability to:
“In a world that’s increasingly digitally driven and focused—combined with a shift toward a workforce that is now primarily deskless—the key to increasing employee engagement is integrally connected to technology,” said Geraldine Osman, CMO, StaffConnect. “To effectively drive engagement across the entire organization, businesses need to implement mobile-enabled apps that are capable of reaching every employee and delivering an engaging user experience. This prevents the silos between office and field-based employees and facilitates a more unified and positive culture that ultimately leads to better performance, retention and customer satisfaction.” To download and read, “How Can Enterprises Overcome the Global Employee Engagement Crisis That Impacts 2.7 Billion Deskless Employees,” visit: https://www.staffconnectapp.com/download-the-deskless-workforce-ebook/ Video Links: Tweet this: .@StaffConnectApp publishes new eBook “How Can Enterprises Overcome the Global #EmployeeEngagement Crisis That Impacts 2.7 Billion #DesklessWorkforce” https://www.staffconnectapp.com/latest/press-releases/ About StaffConnect Media Resources (logos, screenshots, etc.): https://www.staffconnectapp.com/media-resources/ PR Contact: 1 http://desklessworkforce2018.com 2 http://blog.tribeinc.com/category/non-desk/ |
