United for Respect
Background
United for Respect (UFR) is a non-profit organization committed to enhancing the lives of retail workers. Their focus was on developing the WorkIt platform, a digital organizing solution, to empower workers in low-wage industries and advocate for policy changes. The platform utilizes advanced technologies for information distribution, campaign strategy, and research, working towards a more equitable economy.
The challenge
Power an ongoing project
We integrated with an existing team and enhanced their capabilities in developing a comprehensive and user-friendly digital platform. Our focus was on continuing the app's development and fostering a smooth collaboration to meet the evolving needs of workers and their organizations.
The solution
Collaboration and enhancement
We collaborated with the United for Respect team, enhancing their development capabilities and working closely to build the WorkIt platform. Understanding UFR's unique needs and goals, we customized the platform to meet their organizational requirements. Leveraging existing platform infrastructure, we incorporated modern technologies and features to deliver a powerful and flexible digital organizing solution.
The result
Through our collaborative efforts, the successful WorkIt platform was born, revolutionizing how workers in low-wage industries access information and advocate for their rights. The platform's user-friendly interface empowers workers to ask questions, access tools, and share their stories.
Simultaneously, it enables organizations to distribute information, engage workers, and drive campaigns effectively. The seamless integration with United for Respect enhanced their development capabilities, supporting their mission for a just and equitable economy.
Tools & libraries
Our approach
We worked closely with UFR and their stakeholders, conducting thorough research and analysis to gain deep insights into the needs of workers and worker organizations. This collaborative approach ensured that the WorkIt platform was tailored to address the specific challenges faced by individuals in low-wage industries and the organizations representing them.
Considering the MVP nature of the project, we carefully balanced technical challenges and resource-intensive demands when encountering demanding requirements. Our team sought alternative approaches and workarounds that maintained a similar level of value while reducing technical complexity.
