First it’s a quick Slack query, then a couple of minutes later it’s an email, “just following up on my message.” Next it’s a text checking if you got the email and then finally it’s a meeting request – all in the space of 15 minutes. The thing is, you were on lunch, mistakenly thinking you were okay to be uncontactable for one precious hour.
Is terrible tech pushing you to look for a new role?
In many cases, technology has made the way we work better, more collaborative and efficient than ever before. But it has introduced exceptional pain points too – such as your boss thinking it’s fine to contact you at 11pm on a Friday night – writes Kirstie McDermott, Senior Content Manager, Amply
A 2021 study from HR experts Personio discovered that due to the increase in the number of digital tools employees are using to carry out their day-to-day jobs, many are overwhelmed. Thirty-seven percent said there were “too many digital tools to use at work”, with 36% reporting a negative impact on their productivity as a result.
KPMG has reported that businesses spent the equivalent of $15 billion extra a week on technology to enable remote working during the pandemic to enable remote and hybrid working. Despite that, there are challenges, with 66% of business leaders saying staff aren’t being given enough training. New software is hard to use, so say 68%, while 69% feel that employees are not given sufficient time to learn to use new software and that the benefits are often not made clear to them.
A Freshworks study recently discovered that a huge 91% of employees are experiencing frustration due to inadequate workplace technology. This is partly fuelling the figure of 44% of the global workforce who are classified as “job seekers” – those who plan to switch jobs this year.
If you’re on the lookout for a new role where technology will be a little easier to handle, we have three to consider below – and there are always thousands of open roles on the Payments, Cards and Mobile Job Board.
