Workforce Communications

Reach the whole floor on one platform.

Off the bulletin board and out of the all-staff email. Announcements, two-way messaging, signage, surveys, and alerts, all in one place and on every surface.

Built multilingual, so a message authored once reaches every worker in the language they read.

Frontline communication is scattered. So the floor is the last to know.

A bulletin board nobody reads, email half the floor cannot access, texts on personal phones, and a PA system that echoes. The message rarely lands.

Your whole communication, on one platform.

Announcements, messaging, signage, surveys, and alerts, in one place.

This is true even for an English-only floor. 54% of deskless workers have limited email access,2 so the channels HQ relies on never reach them. Add a multilingual workforce and the bulletin board reaches no one.

What "reach the whole floor" actually means.

Real communication processes, running on UnDesked. Click any capability to see the process and the features behind it.

These eight are examples, not limits. Every one is built from the same drag-and-drop blocks, so if your team runs a process that is not here, you build it. There is no cap on workflows.

Reach the whole floor

Communication that actually lands.

Announcements, shift handovers, and alerts on every device, in every worker's language.

From headquarters to the floor, and back.

When a message reaches every worker where they are and in their language, it lands, gets acknowledged, and the floor can respond.

Send

Post to the right audience

Reach

On signage, kiosk, and mobile

Translate

In every worker’s language

Confirm

Read receipts and acknowledgement

Respond

The floor replies, both ways

83% of frontline workers say they miss information that is not delivered where they are.1 Meeting them on the floor changes that.

Built on the platform, not bolted together.

Every communication flow is made from the same building blocks, deployed to any surface, translated underneath.

Building blocks

Forms, media, tests, agreements

Workflows

Sequenced and automated

Any surface

Signage, kiosk, mobile, tablet

The supercharger

Now, in every language.

Every message in each worker's language. An announcement authored once reaches a Spanish reader in Spanish and a Vietnamese reader in Vietnamese, automatically.

Works for an English-only floor. Becomes essential for a multilingual workforce, where an unread safety alert is a hazard.
