Most people struggle to make the best use of their time. It\u2019s not an HR problem\u2014it\u2019s a human problem.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This human problem also adds up to a financial problem. Wasted time and inefficient employees rack up trillions of dollars in lost productivity every year.\u00a0And that\u2019s even when the economy is healthy. But when inflation keeps climbing and interest rates are going up, businesses must help their workers make the best use of company time. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you can help workers feel appreciated and recognized, they will be more productive.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many workers are overwhelmed with the sense that they simply aren\u2019t \u201cenough\u201d to accomplish everything they want to do. And they tend to think that by simply doing <\/span>more<\/span><\/i> of what they\u00a0are already doing, they\u00a0will be more productive and fulfilled. Yet, it seems like\u00a0their\u00a0output falls short of their\u00a0input.\u00a0 Often, it seems like 1+1 = \u00bd.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s wrong?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the nature of modern office work. Repetitive, uninspired work is just plain boring and creates an environment ripe for human errors. A large portion of office computer usage is detrimental to productivity, and it results in employees costing organizations more money than they realize.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We mentioned this last week, but let\u2019s talk about multi-tasking in greater detail:<\/span>\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\n\"\"\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is multi-tasking a <\/span>good<\/span><\/i> skill for an employee to have?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies show that multitasking is counterproductive, harms the\u00a0brain, and reduces cognitive performance. A multi-tasking worker becomes 40% less productive because the mental resources for switching back and forth between tasks are substantial. Over time, a person can even become less resilient to emotional stress, impacting their mental health. Multitasking results in the global economy losing an estimated $450 billion dollars, annually, and that\u2019s just <\/span>one<\/span><\/i> form of inefficiency.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EfficientMe and Synergy<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

EfficientMe works on the concept of <\/span>synergy<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0 Synergy is the phenomenon we experience when 1+1 is <\/span>greater<\/span><\/i> than 2. It\u2019s easy to snap a single stick. But if you combine 3 sticks, breaking them is much more difficult.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what happens when we use computers\u00a0and people to do the tasks that suit them. People are essential for doing intellectual tasks such as planning, creating, and problem-solving together with other people. Computers are better suited to organizing structured data such as the information in a\u00a0spreadsheet. There\u2019s simply no need for a person to do what a computer can do faster and with greater accuracy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The original purpose of the personal computer was to <\/span>empower<\/span><\/b> knowledge workers. It was a tool to accomplish specific tasks more quickly. As graphical interfaces, processing speeds, and networking capabilities increased, computers began to consume more and more of a worker\u2019s time and attention.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

People have many choices when they arrive at their desks. From email to news sites, and social media, the lines between discrete business tasks and daily personal routines are quite blurry. If workers don\u2019t feel their worth and the value of their work, they won\u2019t want to get started and will constantly lose focus. But when workers are dialed in, doing work they love, they don\u2019t even feel time passing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When people, processes, and technology are working harmoniously, people get to enjoy these flow states\u00a0more often. Then, the business profits from fully engaged, and fully alive workers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe 3 services of EfficientMe work synergistically to have a powerful impact on\u00a0business\u2019 efficiency. Any one of the services is powerful, but the combined synergistic effect of all 3 is a game-changing powerhouse for productivity!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
