Workplace Technology Distraction: The Future of Employee Engagement
To remain competitive in a hyperconnected and remote workplace, businesses have turned to the latest digital technologies to improve employees’ productivity, collaboration and connection to other workers. While these investments are necessary, employees often pay a heavy price in the form of rampant workplace distractions. As companies attempt to stay competitive, they inevitably introduce technologies that distract their employees and set the precedent that employees should be always-on and always-connected. This creates an environment where employees spend most of their time on low-value activities and less on their actual job duties.
In this session, Dr. Ampofo lays the groundwork for administration leaders to create the technology environment that addresses the crisis of workplace distraction and strikes a better balance between connectivity, focus, productivity and wellbeing.
Learning Objectives
- – Building a technology environment that encourages focus
- – Ensuring workplace culture doesn’t introduce distraction into the daily employee experience
- – Continually assess the impact of distraction in your workplace
- – How to work with business peers to drive awareness of workplace distraction
