Jonathan Erwin is CEO of Redeapp, a communications and workflow platform for the non-desk workforce. He created his app, Red e App, when he noticed a lack of connection between employers and employees in the “non-desk” workforce, which did not have tools like Slack or email for easy connection.
Gaining a better understanding of the non-desk workforce drives engagement, reduces turnover and increases productivity. Despite being 80% of the world’s employees—with food manufacturing workers accounting for nearly 11% of that—the non-desk workforce has largely gone overlooked and ignored.
