     <\/p>\n

    Over the last decade, technology has redefined just about every aspect of how we live. But tech solutions have been a real game changer when it comes to workplace productivity. Whether presenting to clients, sharing documents, tracking projects, or just about any other on-the-job function, there\u2019s an app for that\u2014and all of these tools and solutions are designed to make working more effective and seamless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    But all of these solutions have some unintended side effects. The average worker uses <\/span>35 different tools on the job<\/a><\/strong>, juggling back and forth between apps more than 1,100 times a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \t<\/span><\/p>\n

    Rather than fueling efficiency, this excess of tech might actually drain it: two-thirds of employees say they lose an hour each day (or 32 full days a year) to <\/span>app toggling<\/a><\/strong>. In fact, while businesses employ so many workplace apps to help employees do more, the reverse is true.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Here are four consequences of app overload<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/a>1. Loss of focus\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Does this scenario sound familiar? You\u2019re working on a presentation when a colleague pings you with a question you could swear you recently had a discussion about. You switch to your messaging app to search for the conversation\u2026 and when it doesn\u2019t turn up, you open your email to look for it there. The answer turns out to be too complicated for text, so you switch to your phone app<\/a> and call your colleague to discuss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Once the question is resolved, it\u2019s back to what you were working on before\u2014but only after you\u2019ve spent a few more minutes figuring out where precisely you left off and getting back into the zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

    We often think of multitasking as a way to get more done, but the reality is task switching can eat up valuable time. It\u2019s not just the original interruption\u2014the work of regaining focus is a significant productivity killer. And with 70% of workers reporting that their <\/span>communications volume is a challenge<\/span><\/a> to getting work done, time lost due to loss of focus can have a big company-wide effect on productivity.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/a>2. Loss of context<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Preparation is everything\u2014especially when you\u2019re jumping into a big meeting. But here\u2019s another scenario that might sound familiar: You\u2019re getting off a call that went late and need to rush to make the next meeting. You switch to your messaging app to find your meeting notes, but they\u2019re not where you thought they were. There\u2019s not enough time to scan through dozens of other team chats to find the info, so you head into your next meeting blind.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Documents, images, links, a useful comment or key message\u2014workers share and accumulate all sorts of important information over time. When all that content lives across too many different apps and solutions, it\u2019s bound to get lost (and will require time and energy to dig it up\u2014if you even can).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/b><\/a>3. Employee fatigue<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Worker burnout is on the rise, and no, it\u2019s not just because of pandemic stress. Even before we ever heard the word COVID, <\/span>more than half of millennials<\/span><\/a> said work was exhausting them. And when considering the causes of this burnout, an excess of workplace apps can\u2019t be overlooked as a factor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Nearly seven in 10 workers say they <\/span>toggle between apps up to 10 times per hour<\/a><\/strong>. The precious minutes lost each time\u2014to logging on to a new app, to gaining context, to regaining focus on the original task\u2014all add up, making it harder to get priority tasks done and creating a work backlog. The consequence\u2014a to-do list that never seems to go down in size\u2014only increases employee stress and fatigue.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/a>4. Lack of communication<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Things tend to go wrong at work when one hand doesn\u2019t talk to the other. And an excess of apps can contribute to communication breakdowns.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Consider just the work of getting the whole team onto a conference call. If meeting invites are sent out via email, then everyone has to dig through their inbox for the meeting details, find and open the link, type a password, and so on. By the time everyone is on, they\u2019re all annoyed and exhausted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    And this may be a best-case scenario. If communications tools are too cumbersome or complicated to use, the bigger risk is that employees simply won\u2019t use them at all. Instead, they may default to other forms of communication like text or email. These modes may be easier to use or access, but they don\u2019t provide the same opportunities for clarity and deeper collaboration.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s time to streamline<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Companies employ countless business apps to help workers be more efficient and productive. But the unintended costs of app overload can\u2019t be ignored. An excess of tools erodes productivity at every turn, making it difficult for workers to connect and share information, wasting time, and stealing focus and energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It\u2019s time to reduce the apps and offer employees streamlined all-in-one tools that break down silos and that make it easier and more appealing to work together\u2014and drive better results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
