Looking over the most popular tools, it’s obvious that despite serious developments in tech, communication with physically active, non-desk job employees is still stagnating somewhere around the industrial revolution. A few examples of solutions in agriculture, production, and manufacturing: business assemblies, flyers, announcement boards, paper surveys, etc.
It’s no wonder, that we’re forced to choose from a generally limited toolset, as reaching those without an online workstation is a significant challenge in and of itself. Different locations or employees dispersed across smaller units are constantly moving, and generally don’t have a computer or internet access. An average physically active employee does not have an email address, meaning that the most popular form of communication is a no-go if we want to engage them in organizational communication.
When over 80% of the global workforce is physically active, without a workstation, it’s worthwhile to pay attention to them. They’re constantly on the road, traversing the country — like sales people and truck drivers. These stats make it obvious that a large part of the workforce is inaccessible, or at least can’t be effectively reached.
Let’s not forget that within a few years a completely new generation will take over the workforce. By 2025, 75% of the workforce will be made up of the YZ generation, and 98% of them will have a smartphone in their pocket — even at work.
75% of blue-collar employees find communication on a customized app much more comfortable and effective than other “obsolete” solutions like intranet, email, or printed materials.
What’s more, according to a Deloitte study surveying 140 countries with over 10,000 leaders, 77% of today’s managers believe that email won’t be an effective communication method in the future… Making a good case to think twice about your alternatives.
