Built for the new generation workforce<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Nearly 60 percent of today\u2019s workforce are millennials and Gen Z, and these digital native generations frequently multitask across multiple devices. However, established research1<\/sup> suggests that we are often inefficient at multitasking, with the average worker losing 2.1 hours per day due to time taken to re-focus on tasks. We know that in today\u2019s work environment multitasking is inevitable, but that doesn\u2019t mean that organizations should have to suffer from the ill-effects of multitasking like the loss of productivity and decreased employee experience. We believe smarter technology should be designed to enhance focus and productivity, whatever your role, whatever the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
