😮 Why it matters

There are tons of employee communication and management tools. But here's the problem: they're designed for office workers.

• What we forget? A massive 70% of the global workforce is actually deskless! Waiters, retail staff, drivers, technicians, and more.
• They're active in the US, Singapore and Australia.

‍

💡 The secret sauce

Mercu allows companies to communicate with their deskless workforce on chat apps they already use, like WhatsApp!

• You'll get 4-5x more engagement this way than email or separate websites and apps.

🤩 But wait, there's more

Apart from communication, they also help companies automate processes to save time, improve productivity and engagement and get employee insights.

Fast and simple hiring, onboarding and employee comms. Automatically book and schedule interviews, send resources and process documents over chat.

Enabling them with the right things at the right time. Free up work for your employees by keeping the right information accessible anytime with a chat-based knowledge base with instant answers to their questions.

Engagement and insights to make them stay. Get insights into employee satisfaction through automated check-ins, 360 reviews, performance reports, pulse checks and engagement surveys.
