“Most agile working environments
will be driven by technology.”
Digital solutions for the employee journey
Ezitracker presents the essential guide to creating a more agile workforce.
Recruiting, onboarding and training employees can be hugely time-consuming and a drain on resources, so once they are in a role – especially if they are ‘deskless’ or remote workers such as cleaners out in the field – it’s vital that you hold on to them.
Using workforce management software, you can effectively monitor your cleaning workforce schedules, payroll and wellbeing whilst giving them the technology to work closely with you throughout their employee journey. After all, an agile workforce is an engaged workforce – one that’s ready to jump at opportunities. A simple management tweak can help increase engagement.
Organisations that promote forward-thinking, agile work environments are often not constrained by the traditional 9-5 workday ethic. Staff can work with cloud-based workforce management tools to organise their own schedules on site, as well as submitting accurate timesheets that dovetail into payroll and performance reviews.
Digital age working
This sounds like the perfect scenario, but we find it surprising that even coming out of a two-year COVID hangover (when home and hybrid working was enforced by governments), sectors such as manufacturing, construction, facilities management, and hospitality are still not quite there and face difficulties in rolling-out these ‘digital age’ working models, because they’ve not had the right level of technology to back them up.
What does an agile workforce look like?
Agile workplaces can be designed for complete flexibility so that employees in some sectors can be empowered and given the choice as to how, where and when they work. Most agile working environments will be driven by technology, where remote workers, for example, are armed with all the digital tools they need to perform their roles whilst being embedded team members within their organisations.

vital that a proactive nurturing and development scheme is in place to effectively monitor their positions and ensure they utilise systems and processes to deliver their own objectives. Employees working in more flexible settings will often stick around because they are given some autonomy to get the jobs done in ways that suit them.
Digital tools to make employee lives easier
Workplace technology doesn’t just boost efficiency and productivity – it also plays a huge part in worker wellbeing, too. Workforce management software makes it easy for cleaning and FM staff to share ideas with colleagues, check future shifts, book holidays, access payslips, and much more.
Giving remote workers and deskless
staff greater autonomy Employers are being encouraged to listen to their workforces if they want to hold on to them by introducing new policies and practices which demonstrate they value their employees and their needs. If workers are provided with the necessary tech to gain greater control over their time and scheduling, productivity can only improve.
A great example could be to replace mandatory job ‘checklists’ with a more supportive and adaptable form of guidance, and consider deploying digital assets to the mobile devices of deskless workers, keeping them on track with time and attendance and accurate payroll reporting. A workforce management tool to prompt, guide, and capture the activity of employees while giving them greater autonomy over the way in which tasks are done and how they collaborate with colleagues.
Investing in and retaining an agile workforce now is more important than ever. Agile businesses will reap the advantages as the digital landscape continues to change.
