“Flow” isn’t just some abstract idea; it’s grounded in tangible impacts on our daily lives and work. Consider this: the average UK employee squanders 760 hours each year on distractions or activities unrelated to work. In a recent study by the American Psychological Association , 77% of workers reported experiencing anxiety in their workplace. And the cost? American businesses are bleeding over $650 billion annually due to distracted employees not fully concentrating on their tasks. The pursuit of flow, then, becomes not just a personal quest for productivity but a critical economic imperative.
But, the good news is that 75% of employees acknowledge a boost in productivity after receiving training on managing distractions.
Training your employees, leadership included, to achieve a state of flow at work can yield similar, if not superior, outcomes. This approach not only enhances focus but also elevates overall workplace efficiency.
