The Problem
Workers spend a staggering amount of time switching between apps just to complete daily tasks. A study of 137 users across three Fortune 500 companies revealed that employees toggle between applications 1,200 times per day—adding up to nearly four hours per week lost to context-switching. That’s 9% of total work time wasted simply reorienting themselves after switching between tools.
While businesses may accept this as the cost of digital workflows, the reality is that fragmented tools are a major productivity drain. Instead of adding more people to compensate for inefficiencies, organizations should streamline their tech stack and prioritize user experience.
