The Employee Connection Solution for Deskless Teams
Connect Every Worker - Wherever They Are
Why Frontline Employee Connection and Communication Breaks Down
Despite widespread investment in workplace technology, communication tools are failing deskless workers. In the UK, 47% of frontline staff rely on unofficial communication channels to stay informed. This communication gap contributes directly to rising stress levels, with 16% of frontline employees attributing their workplace stress to poor communication from management.
Some of the most common frontline communication challenges include:
- Missed updates due to reliance on word of mouth or group chats
- No access to company systems (intranets, email, shared drives)
- Limited audit trails and visibility for leadership or compliance teams
- Low engagement due to disconnection from company culture
Poor onboarding and shift coordination, impacting performance and service quality
The Real Cost of Disconnection
Employee connection and communication isn’t just a convenience, it’s a business-critical function. Research shows that organisations with a highly connected employee experience are 21% more profitable and 17% more productive than those with disengaged teams. Yet, deskless employees consistently report feeling left out.
Workplace Insights reports that deskless employees make up 80% of the global workforce, with only 43% of deskless workers feeling seen, valued, and appreciated. This highlights a major disconnect in communication and recognition, a risk that contributes to reduced employee connection, engagement and retention, as well as inefficiencies across departments.

I would definitely recommend Jovo to churches both large and small who want to improve their internal communications in an easy and GDPR compliant way.
We needed a way to keep our teams connected without mixing work and personal life. WhatsApp wasn’t built for that. I’ve already recommended Jovo, especially because of the confidence it gives us in data privacy.
Jovo was a game-changer for our event team communication (1000+ volunteers): from the user-friendly interface to the ability to manage different groups for various purposes, this easy-to-use app has vastly improved our communication with volunteers, boosting productivity and satisfaction.
