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.
