Sleep work, when employees cannot have an impact on the business or achieve its maximum potential due to the lack of data and the appropriate tools to access it, it is a big and expensive problem for companies. It costs employers $ 6.5 billion during productive work hours every week, and could be affecting their company more than you think.
Domo conducted research on what impacts employees in their daily work, including the way they use technology and what type of access to data they want. The report, “Sleepingworking: how the disconnection of employees is harming their business,” is a call for companies about the challenges that employees experience in work and roles technology and access to data play to overcome them.
Of all the revealing conclusions of the report, here are five ideas based on data that will change the way you think about the data and help you stop the dream in your organization.
58% of workers say that their need for technology has increased in the last 5 years, but their access to technological tools is not up to date
Employers are playing when trying to access data that are already available in their systems. But without adequate technology, employees cannot access the data they need to make quick and intelligent decisions.
Employees can only maximize their potential and impact on the business when they can easily access the data when, where and how they need it. This means more than having available data in cured and static reports. Any person in an organization must have rapid access to the data at the right time, from employees in the first line working as desks to analysts who fight to find answers to urgent commercial questions. In a nutshell: the data must be easily deployable and consumables in multiple ways to meet multiple needs.
3 out of 5 workers say they could do more work and make better work with better technological tools
Workers need, and yearn, technology and tools that allow them to be more productive, efficient and shocking. But what does “better” mean? According to research, part of what it means for employees is access to more data. And not only the data for the good of the data: real and precise time data that allow the entire organization to be agile and proactive.
In many companies today, when the data is collected and cured, it is outdated or the time to act on ideas has passed. When business professionals have a better technology when it comes to real time data in which they can trust and act, they not only do more work, but also do the most shocking work.
45% of workers want to have access to more data, whether internal or external, to help inform their strategic ideas.
Research shows that a significant part of the workforce wants more data. They want to explore their strategic ideas, make decisions based on data and help the business. Companies can take advantage and trigger that feeling of curiosity based on data with the technology that connects people with the data they need to move from workers to sleep to impact players.
Companies create a culture of curiosity based on data through technology that assembles people with more data they can use to ask and answer questions that drive the business.
70% of employees who say they have the perfect amount of technological tools plan to stay in their company for a long time
Employees who feel they are having an impact want to remain in their jobs. Domo’s research shows the connection between technology and retention, which should not be a surprise. With too many tools, workers do not know where to start finding answers. With limited tools, they often cannot access the information they need to achieve their maximum potential in their roles.
Companies can navigate the phenomenon of sleep that throws through the world of work by empowering everyone in the whole business with effective technology and tools that help them access and act in the correct data at the right time in the correct context. With empowerment comes the commitment, and with the commitment often comes better results and retention.
58% of workers say that access to technological tools makes their company better capable of resisting the economic recession
If we have learned something in recent years, we don’t know what will happen later. Companies that focus on agility have an advantage because they can adapt to change. So how do you use tools and technological data to be more efficient and agile? Provide employees with the appropriate technology that helps them find answers to new and surprising challenges, and perhaps even getting ahead of those challenges and avoiding them completely.
The best way to overcome sleep work is to provide employees with the tools with which they dream: Tolas that reduce noise, do not increase it. Tools that are more than tricks that will use a couple of times and then leave for something else. Companies can break the noise of sleep duration by providing people with a better technology that makes the data accessible and processable. Give tools of workers who make it easy to pursue their curiosity, make decisions and improve their contributions to their teams, their companies and their own growth.
