New Delhi, June 13 (IANS) About 82 per cent of Indian knowledge workers believe that it would be easier to make progress if they had fewer, more specific goals, a new report showed on Thursday. According to the data collected by the Australia-based software firm Atlassian Corporation, knowledge workers spend so much time planning and talking about work that it prevents them from actually doing work that matters.
About 76 per cent of workers agree that their team is constantly pulled in too many directions.
“Our results show that high-performing teams build the right foundations for teamwork by making time to improve their processes, practices, and tools,” said Annie Dean, Global Head of Team Anywhere, Atlassian.
“These new ways of working need to prioritise a reality where work does not happen shoulder to shoulder. The internet and AI are going to start to solve these problems for us,” she added.
