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.

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
