The Deskless Worker Takes Center Stage at VISION 2022 – The Experience Conference

After two years hosting virtually, the WorkForce Software team and our extended community of partners, customers and industry thought leaders came together to participate in VISION 2022: The Experience Conference. The customers participating in VISION 2022 represented approximately 1.9 million employees in the global workforce. The energy of our in-person attendees was palpable, especially after so much time apart. And those who participated virtually reminded us of the incredible way technology can engage and inspire an audience, no matter where its members are in the world.

Great challenges can forge incredible innovations. The past years’ events have brought new focus on the value of and fundamental need for improved employee experience and on the importance of taking action on what matters most to employees—such as increased flexibility and feeling valued. In light of the dramatic gap between how employer and employees rate the employee experience at work, new technology and resources have emerged to support employee well-being through engagement, real-time insights and commercial-grade user experience.

Throughout the uncertainty and complexities of the global pandemic, the 2.7 billion deskless shift workers who make up 80% of the workforce continued to show up for work—out in the field, on the assembly line, behind the wheel, in the store, in the schoolroom and in the hospital—to ensure our world continued to turn. As we look toward the future of work, we must continue to find ways to prioritise the needs of these essential workers.

WorkForce Software is passionate about bringing continuous innovation to our customers and their teams. In a time of ever-evolving customer preferences, market dynamics, labour demographics, regulatory requirements and supply chain disruptions, modern workforce management has emerged as the single greatest enabler for tapping into the power of your people.

At its heart, modern workforce management focuses on optimising business performance through practices and systems capable of supporting employees while making them feel valued and respected. Bridging the gap between desired business outcomes and employee expectations, modern workforce management provides customer-grade tools to support employees’ successes on the job—no matter where and when work happens. Looking at the big picture, happy and satisfied employees drive more innovative, agile, profitable and connected outcomes for businesses and their customers.
