Kahoot!, the global learning and engagement platform company, today released its Kahoot! 2023 Workplace Culture Report, a comprehensive study on the frontline workforce – essential workers not working behind a desk. According to McKinsey & Company, frontline workers are a vital component of nearly all sectors of the economy, accounting for 70 percent of the current US workforce.
The Kahoot! 2023 Workplace Culture Report spotlights the dedication, skills and ambitions of frontline employees: 71% are highly motivated to go the extra mile for their company’s success, while 93% eagerly seek more learning and development opportunities.

In addition, a global Workday survey found that 20% of frontline workers plan to leave their jobs within the next three to six months.
