Transport and Warehousing | The State of the Deskless Workforce | UK

Welcome to Quinyx’s Special Report on Transport and Warehousing. Here we reveal the latest State of the Deskless Workforce findings, uncovering the experiences, attitudes and behaviours of workers from this sector.

The current unprecedented demand for drivers and warehouse staff means it’s
more important than ever for loyal employees to feel valued. Great staff are the
driving force behind every great business, after all. At Quinyx, we’re here to take the
stress out of employee scheduling, helping managers retain loyal team members
and get their businesses back on the road to success.


This is what we found:

  • 65% of transport and warehousing workers don't feel that their employer fully appreciates the work that they do

  • 74% said that understaffing has lead to a more stressful work environment

  • 61% have seen their shift patterns change due to the pandemic


As part of our annual international research, The State of the Deskless Workforce, charting the experiences of over 10,000 deskless workers across ten countries, we surveyed 1,500 deskless workers in the UK. In this report, we put the attitudes of transport and warehousing under the microscope.
