Recommendation

In this enlightening white paper from the Center for Creative Leadership, senior research scientist Jennifer J. Deal explains how companies use technology to mask their incompetent processes and structures, extracting much more from their employees than is required or reasonable. The overuse of smartphones for work hinders work-life balance, which leads to exhausted and unhappy employees. getAbstract recommends its findings to employers looking to make the best use of their workers’ time and effort.

Take-Aways

  • Executives, managers and professionals (EMPs) who use smartphones for work are connected 72 hours a week, many more than those who don’t carry smartphones.
  • Smartphone-using EMPs recognize that they are paid to stay connected to work all the time and that their jobs require them to do so.
  • EMPs enjoy being indispensable to their employers; they don’t mind the irregular and endless work hours unless those hours are caused by their companies’ mismanagement of time and resources.
