LONDON and SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- StaffConnect, the leading provider of mobile employee engagement solutions, today announced another banner year of substantial growth across revenue, customer adoption, and strategic partnerships. The company also expanded its geographic footprint in the US, European, Australian and Asian markets, while gaining vertical industry momentum with organizations in the food and beverage, engineering and construction, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, retail, and travel/leisure industries. As a result, the company experienced year-over-year recurring revenue up 129%, coupled with strong customer growth reaching 146% – underscoring the dire need for solutions that address the increasing importance of a more positive employee experience.

Mounting evidence indicates that lower worker engagement affects overall company success, implying that engagement must be escalated to a board-level issue, given the impact on profitability, productivity, employee retention, and work culture. A report by The Starr Conspiracy Intelligence Unit estimates that the employee engagement sector is a $74.3 billion dollar market opportunity, and states that engagement has become “the global CEO dashboard metric for the state of the workforce.”

“Our persistent growth is a testament to those forward-thinking organizations who are deploying new mobile platforms to help solve the challenges associated with improving engagement levels across the modern dispersed workforce,” said Geraldine Osman, CMO, StaffConnect. “By selecting StaffConnect’s mobile engagement platform, our customers are driving positive shifts in workplace culture, which is affecting a rapid increase in workforce productivity, a decrease in attrition levels and improved customer satisfaction. With these benefits, it is no surprise that the employee engagement market is on a rapid growth trajectory as enterprises around the globe rank employee experience (EX) as a top priority and business challenge that must be solved.”
