It feels like everybody is always busy at work these days.
Many workplaces keep putting their employees under massive time pressure. This happens when:
- Employees are routinely expected to increase their productivity year after year with little or no additional support, training or resources.
- A company is growing and taking on new clients/projects without a matching increase in staff and resources.
- An organization lays off staff but expects the reduced staff to the same amount of work.
- Schedules are filled to near capacity with meetings and tasks before the work week even starts, leaving no time for ad-hoc or unexpected tasks.
Companies think that these actions create a burning platform that pressures employees to work effectively and creatively towards the company’s goals, but in this webinar we will show that the truth is the opposite: Always being busy reduces employees’ cognitive resources and makes it much harder for them to do their jobs well.
In this video we show exactly how damaging constant busyness is. Content includes:
- The most relevant research behind busyness
- How constantly being busy actually lowers productivity
- 5 ways to avoid constant busyness
- Great examples from some of the world’s happiest workplaces
