Blink is the digital backbone of companies who run the real world and don’t sit behind a computer. It’s for the millions of essential nurses, bus drivers, construction workers or supply chain operators that run the real economy. In just a year, Blink has already been adopted by more than 60,000 people across over 100 companies in the UK, US and Australia who open the Blink app more than 15 times per day. 70% of the workforce today are frontline workers. But they have been underinvested in for far too long. Too often they suffer from low morale because they feel unappreciated at work. It's time for change. In our customers so far, we have reduced staff turnover by 26%, doubled employee satisfaction and delivered an ROI in under 3 months. Most importantly, 100% of frontline workers would recommend Blink to a colleague. We empower, we protect and we equip frontline workers with an all-in-one app that digitises the frontline and put everything your people need at their fingertips. Come join us on our mission.
