In today's episode, we talk about why messaging apps (Slack, Teams, etc.) are likely making your people NUTS. and having a substantial negative impact on productivity. But because we're all so used to it, we don't even realize how ridiculous it is. 

Burnout will never go away if people feel they can't finish their work. Re-train your people on this fixable, repetitive, daily part of the employee experience!

Topics Discussed:

- 35% of people report being interrupted 100 times a day! 

- How to find out if your people are struggling with being interrupted

- Re-Training Managers 

- Workshopping the company and positioning it as a people-first training

Resources mentioned:

ChatGPT prompt: "Can you help me write an email to tell my CEO that one on ones are key to employee engagement please?" Put something like that into the text prompt for the response!
