Google estimates<\/a>\u00a0that 80% of the global workforce is a deskless worker. That\u2019s more than 3\/4 of the population.<\/p>\n

Studies have also shown that 3 out of 4 employees are non-desk workers and that a whopping 83% of employees do not have a email address associated with their workplace.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Typically, most members of the deskless workforce carries a mobile phone with them on the job\u200a\u2014\u200awhich makes it easy for them to access productivity apps.<\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a077% of American\u2019s<\/a> own a smart phone.<\/p>\n

There are thousands of companies that have created technology to maximize workflow for the deskless workforce. For instance,\u00a0PlanGrid<\/em><\/a>\u00a0transforming the construction industry,\u00a0Square<\/a>\u00a0for the restaurant industry, and\u00a0Shopify<\/a>\u00a0helping small e-commerce businesses thrive.<\/p>\n

The BYOD movement is in full swing\u200a\u2014\u200aso it you haven\u2019t jumped on board, the time is now. Technology is developing at a rapid rate, one thing\u2019s for sure, it\u2019s here to stay.<\/p>\n

Here are just some of the reason\u2019s to onboard a deskless workforce to have greater access to technology:<\/p>\n

1. Keep employees in the\u00a0loop.<\/h4>\n

When you have a team that is on the go it\u2019s hard to keep tabs on everyone. Communication is key and smart tools are vital to the success of a company.<\/p>\n

We are partial to\u00a0Voxer for Business<\/a>\u00a0for all of your real-time communication needs. Send live voice messages, text, photos and videos. Best of all, your chat history is saved. So your team never has to worry that they missed any details since messages can be played over and over again.<\/p>\n

2. Not everyone works\u00a09\u20135.<\/h4>\n

Chances are 9\u20135, Monday thru Friday is top of mind when thinking about a typical work week. But, for many, this isn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n

Multiple work schedules and different times zones shouldn\u2019t stop teammates from connecting with one another on a regular basis. There are countless apps to track what happened on all shifts. Avoid letting your team members stay in the dark- when it\u2019s easy to stay connected.<\/p>\n

3. No man left\u00a0behind.<\/h4>\n

Don\u2019t make employees feel left out just because they don\u2019t spend all day at a desk. There are tons of apps that let employees on all levels communicate with upper management.<\/p>\n

We like,\u00a015Five<\/a>. It\u2019s a performance management solution that allows employees to give feedback on their experience, let their voices be heard by managers which eventually, trickles all the way up the chain (especially important in large corporations where communication is easily misplaced).<\/p>\n

Regardless of what shift they work and who they interact with, this app gives them the opportunity to make sure they aren\u2019t left in the dust.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the technology age after\u00a0all.<\/h4>\n

Overall, there are thousands of apps out there that help benefit the deskless workforce. If your team is comprised of many non-desk workers make sure you start making moves towards including everyone in the technology movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
