When what we experience overwhelms our working memory, it triggers cognitive overload. When this “paralysis of information” emerges through the software we regularly use, it results in a phenomenon known as tech disengagement.
While tech disengagement is annoying in our personal lives, it’s outright frustrating at work. And it occurs more often than you think.
This e-book explores the root causes of tech disengagement and how it can cascade into:
- low morale
- HR burnout
- quiet quitting
- turnover
- and more
We’ll also examine how it leaves HR to pick up the slack when employees refuse to use their workplace tech. In fact, even though 92% of companies have self-service HR software, 1 in 3 HR pros still enter 80% to 100% of the employees’ data.
Every manual task HR performs for an employee has a cost. Ernst & Young recently found that just one manual data entry task executed by an HR professional costs businesses an average of $4.78 per instance. This e-book also details how much companies lose in specific areas of HR when employees don’t engage with their tech.
Finally, we’ll consider how multitasking isn’t a magical solution — or even possible for most of us. As we attempt to multitask, we ultimately create more work for ourselves and drastically reduce the quality of our output. To overcome this tendency, we’ll look at practical ways to address work and avoid multitasking.
