November 14, 2022

With the labor shortage still hampering post-pandemic recovery for retail and hospitality organizations, hiring top-performing employees is only half the battle.

11 Employee Experience tips for 2024

December 20, 2023

In 2022, deskless industries, such as retail and hospitality, were confronted with a number of drastic trends and developments. Take The Great Resignation, for example, a trend in which deskless employees resigned en masse. After The Great Resignation, came the so-called Great Attrition. More and more employees are quitting or considering quitting their jobs, often because there is a gap between what they want and what their employers think they want. There are more and more deskless jobs available, but fewer people want these jobs. Many organizations have to deal with staff shortages, closures, and high employee turnover rates. Time for organizations to take a closer look at their frontline. They need to look at their stores and innovate faster than they do within their corporate headquarters. Ultimately, the individuals actually based within your stores (your deskless workforce) are the ones that manage your day-to-day operations. They are the lifeblood of your organization. If they leave, and you just have a corporate staff left, you’re not going to sell much. It all comes down to the enormous gap between the headquarters and the deskless workforce. That is why companies should focus on bridging that gap in the upcoming year and start making their deskless employees more successful and engaged. With these tips, we are sure you will succeed.
