Constant distraction from workday technology harms productivity
Modern work depends on communication platforms like Slack, Teams and email. They make collaboration instant but they also increase the number of daily interruptions. Over time, small and frequent interactions add up breaking focus and extending the workday.
Without data, you cannot answer:
- How much time employees spend in messaging and email each day?
- How communication load differs across teams or departments?
- Whether communication is supporting work or preventing it?
- Are we trending in a bad direction or good?
Produce8 measures the volume of messaging and email interactions to show how communication habits are shaping the workday.
What if you could visualize how digital communication impacts your workforce
Produce8 can help you understand how communication tools are used across your organization. You can identify if messaging and email are causing distraction and unnecessary cognitive load.
Measure Application Usage
You can view messaging and email app usage by average and total time spent, and interaction counts including change over the previous time period to help spot signs of changing collaboration load.
Spot Differences Between Departments
Teams use tools differently. Department trends provide some insight into how teams leverage messaging and how their usage changes over time.
Leverage Organization, Team and individual communications challenges
Behavior changes require engagement and habit creation. The challenges feature provides a way for initiatives to reduce collaboration overload to drive the involvement of people across an organization and provides the data to show impact across all workday metrics.
