You need a dock that supports DisplayLink, which is a USB-based display system.

You need DisplayLink drivers.
One challenge with the Dell docks is that they require a Windows computer to do firmware updates, so for that reason I avoid Dell docks for my Mac-only users.

The displaylink drivers are installed on the computer. Docks have separate firmware. Dell doesn't provide direct links to either for a Mac on their support site so follow the link for the DisplayLink driver in post #6 of this thread.
