StaffConnect's Newest Mobile App Platform Eliminates Risk of Rogue App Deployment & Transforms Employee Engagement

StaffConnect, provider of an enterprise mobile employee engagement platform, said it ushered in a new era of innovation in creating powerful employee experiences in the enterprise. StaffConnect's next generation StaffConnect Mobile App Platform version 2 (v2) features key bar-raising enhancements that transform the employee experience by enabling business, nonprofit and government organizations to better connect, communicate and engage with their entire workforce, including remote, non-desk employees. The result is employees are more loyal, passionate and productive, leading to improved customer/client experiences, and consequently superior business outcomes.

While the foremost authorities agree regarding the business criticality of employee engagement, prevailing research demonstrates that the world is in the throes of an employee engagement crisis. In fact, according to a recent Gallop poll, a mere 13% of employees were found to be engaged. Unfortunately, the associated costs can be truly devastating. Gallop has stated that 65% of all lost customers can be tracked to a disengaged employee. This issue is further exacerbated by what is now being referred to as the "forgotten workforce" i.e., non-desk employees. Surprising, given that today non-desk employees make up over 80% of the world's workforce, and in this digital age, the non-desk employee number is only expected to rise.

"Employee engagement used to be an afterthought and perhaps one that didn't extend beyond Human Resources (HR). Of course, today that would be a serious mistake for any organization," said Denis Pombriant, managing principal, Beagle Research Group and author of "You Can't Buy Customer Loyalty, But You Can Earn It." "There's good data that shows engaged employees can help you to outperform your competitors by as much as 200%. Likewise disengaged employees directly account for lost customers and revenue, so you can see why employee engagement is rising to the top of not just HR and internal communications priority lists, but the C-suite's as well."
