The Problem: Information Overload
Employees spend a significant amount of their workweek (around 20%) managing information from different systems, such as catching up on missed meetings, conversations, and responding to colleagues.
This is due to several reasons:
Vast amount of data and information to consume
Difficulty in finding the needed information in a timely manner
Information scattered across different systems
Difficulty in knowing how to use the information effectively
The Impact of Information Overload
47% of knowledge workers struggle to find the data and information they need to perform their jobs.
Customer success teams take longer to respond to clients, leading to lower customer satisfaction.
Sales teams spend a lot of time on non-selling activities instead of building relationships with clients, resulting in lower revenue targets.
Project deadlines are missed due to the difficulty in gathering the latest information and keeping the team updated.
The Slack Solution
Slack is a "work OS" where different people, data, tools, and processes come together in a single place where conversations are happening.
Slack integrations and automation tools can help harness the power of data and AI to find information faster, make decisions easier, and stay ahead of the workday.
