Bridging the benefits divide: Engaging deskless workers to futureproof your business

Bridging the benefits divide: Engaging deskless workers to futureproof your business

Frontline and deskless employees make up the backbone of many organisations, yet they’re often the hardest to reach, the least engaged and the most underserved when it comes to benefits and communications. As technology reshapes how we connect and deliver value, reward and benefits leaders face a pivotal challenge: how do you engage face-to-face and through tech? How do you design equitable, accessible and meaningful benefits tailored to meet the specific needs of a deskless workforce? This interactive workshop will explore practical strategies to close the engagement gap and build a benefits strategy that truly resonates with these harder-to-reach employees. Expect candid discussion, knowledge sharing and ideas you can put into practice straight away.

 

Key Discussion Points:

  • What unique needs and challenges do deskless workers face, and how can benefits and communications be designed and tailored to meet them effectively? 
  • How can we make face-to-face engagement a cost-effective reality - truly reaching and engaging deskless workers who don’t have easy access to tech at work? 
  • What does an inclusive, intuitive digital platform look like: cutting through complexity, supporting multi-generational frontline and deskless workforces and meeting people at their comfort level with technology?   

This workshop is exclusively designed for senior reward and benefit professionals in organisations primarily based in the UK with a large proportion of deskless workers. In partnership with the Personal Group.

What will happen on the day:
Taking place during REBA Future Forum on 20th November 2025 at Convene Sancroft. You will be autoregistered to attend as much of the events agenda as you wish.
