Founder’s Update: Why GAGE, Why Now?!

An update from Justin Henshaw, Founder of GAGE on – Why GAGE, Why Now?: 


“So the shift and hourly workforce80 million Americans in vital roles, making up 60% of our labor market. And the businesses that employ them are facing historic challenges: primarily record-high turnover and lowest recorded productivity caused by disengaged, unmotivated employees. 


The question is... why?! 

It's actually quite simple.  They don't care!  I know, it's a harsh reality right?!  But their jobs simply don't matter to them.

 

To explain what I mean, let's break it down:

 

College? You’ve got a transcript and diploma.

Athlete? You’ve got stats and game highlights!

Military? You have a service record.

Salaried employee? LinkedIn’s got your career covered.

Contractor? You’ve got Google reviews or Angie’s List.

Gig worker? The app tracks your ratings and reviews.

 

But what about shift and hourly workers?:

No platform.

No validation.

No stats

No recognition.

 

Why are businesses struggling?  Because their employees simply don't care.  Why don’t they care? Because there’s absolutely no reason for them to—no way to measure or showcase their accomplishments.


Until now…  We're here to change the game! 


GAGE is the first transferable employment record and recognition community designed specifically for the shift and hourly workforce!”
