According to the recent State of Technology for the Deskless Workforce report, deskless staff make up to 80 percent of the global working population. Despite this significant number, non-desk workers have been overlooked by tech companies and their IT teams in terms of the tools and technologies at their disposal. In fact, only 1 percent of enterprise software investment is allocated to the deskless workforce! This risks deskless employees feeling isolated and disengaged as they lack the latest tools to perform their jobs effectively, while their office-based co-workers benefit from technologies like digital workplace solutions, ERPs, CRMs, and more.The situation has started to change in recent years as more companies plan to increase their investment in deskless technologies. In this HRchat we look at this shift and consider tech that can deliver better business results by helping non-desk workers stay informed, connected, and engaged at work.Bill Banham's guest this time is Jordan Ekers, a mobile technology entrepreneur, co-founder of Nudge and one of the industry’s most prominent advocates for the deskless employee experience.Jordan has worked with many of North America’s leading retail, foodservice, and hospitality brands to design new, transformative approaches for executing on the Nudge brand promise by empowering frontline teams. With extensive experience in customer loyalty, rewards strategy, and mobile innovation, he previously co-founded one of Canada’s most popular loyalty programs, Carrot Rewards, a wellness app that motivates over 1 million users to make better everyday lifestyle choices. Jordan has been a speaker and conference chair at major industry events, such as NRF Big Show, Future Stores, and Future Guest Experiences. With a track record of impacting the moments (and metrics) that matter, Nudge’s platform has the tools needed to reliably inspire employees and guide their day-to-day actions. HR pros and leaders adopt Nudge to reach organizational goals and improve decision-making with real-time employee insights; from knowledge rates and sentiment, to text analysis and location audits.This episode is supported by Nudge, a communications platform that delivers business results by helping non-desk workers stay informed, connected, and engaged at work.

Andreas is a prominent Canadian leader and an advocate for Canadian & innovative approaches to social change particularly around the areas of public health promotion climate change awareness and citizenship. Episode Overview: Carrot Rewards actually gives you rewards based on one your favorite loyalty rewards and whether it is your favourite programs like Aeroplan® Miles, SCENE®, Petro-Points™, More Rewards®, and Drop. We get to challenge ourselves and Carrot Rewards give us tips about different pieces whether you're counting your steps, your food, whatever it is, it actually helps us with those different things and becomes a bit of a game for us. So it began from kind of like a core health and wellness message around the app. Carrot Rewards is a new way to try and deliver wellness to Canadians compared to the traditional methods that have been used all over the world. So when you think of how we have tried to convince our fellow citizens not just in Canada but in any country to live a little bit healthier so that everybody saves a lot of money down the road and when they get old. The app is free but not only is it free, you actually get a whole bunch of your favorite points just for putting it on your phone. The important thing about Carrot is that it’s actually not aimed at the healthy segment of the population it’s aimed at the whole population. Carrots messaging is appropriate for every single Canadian. The app doesn’t say come to Carrot because you love being healthy or because you love being financially healthy. The app says come to Carrot Rewards because it will give you more points. For those that are looking for something to kind of help you with your own resolutions or areas that you want a change of 2018 definitely take a look at this and listen to this episode. What you’ll learn in this episode: What Carrot Rewards is all about and how this app can be a huge part of everyday lives. How the rewards convince people to live a little bit healthier How Carrot Rewards became almost like an aggregator of rewards Understanding core health and wellness How to do things better easier and faster and then get rewarded for it. How to take advantage of our addiction to mobile phones using this app How to be productive, passionate and focused towards your goals Why lunch is an important part of the day. How to transform lunch as an extended part of work. The app can be a helpful source of guidance four your new year’s resolutions. The things that makes us different are actually the things that make us successful. Too often in our quest to fit in and to live normal, we end up quashing those very things that could make us special.

Carrot Rewards is a free app for your smartphone or Fitbit that helps you earn your favourite reward points by making healthy lifestyle choices. What if I told you that you would get a reward every time you went for a walk? Ok, sometimes I'll reward myself by walking to the donut shop, but I'm not talking about that kind of reward. My favourite part of the app is the steps section. It tracks the steps I take every day to come up with my average daily steps and then rewards me with a few points every day I exceed my average. But healthy lifestyle choices aren't just about walking. As I discussed in episode 20 with Canada's Financial Literacy Leader Jane Rooney, financial wellness is just as important as physical and mental wellness. And let's not forget environmental wellness which is about living a lifestyle that respects our surroundings. For all of these other wellness topics Carrot Rewards sends you offers in the form of quizzes and surveys within the app that take only a few minutes to complete. Megan Nobrega introduced me to Carrot Rewards at the Canadian Personal Finance Conference in November 217 so I decided to visit her at her office and find out more about her personal finance story and how she ended up at Carrot. Update: Carrot Rewards now has over 750,000 users in Canada! P.S. Once you get the Carrot Rewards app, use my code to get bonus rewards: beauh1933 NEXT EPISODE 24 - Cait Flanders
