Work Friction Management
Volker Jacobs
Transformative change and frictionless work in large organizations, enabled by data, AI, and EX.
I’m very pleased to announce the launch of our work friction management platform and our new website at https://getfount.com. When we spun out FOUNT as its own company, we knew we had built something special with our moment-centric architecture and benchmark of nearly 5M work friction datapoints. The platform has come a long way since those early days.??
?You can read more about this news in our press release where I highlight the business imperative for work friction management. “Unmanaged friction costs €158 million per 10k employees, through attrition, burnout, and wasted productivity. Work culture, values, policies and legislation vary across Europe which means causes of friction also vary. FOUNT is unique in its ability to help large organizations solve for these differences at all levels.”??
?Our new high-fidelity visualizations and configurable dashboards make it easy to see when employees are experiencing the most friction and—more importantly—what to fix. Because work friction is typically only visible to those doing the work, our approach is centered on what people do every day and when the work environment supports or hinders them.??
?To learn more about work friction and how it differs from organization friction, I highly recommend this new Work Friction whitepaper from our Head of Research, Jennifer Sigler, Lastly, as we head into the latter part of the year, our team will be out and about at various conferences and events so be sure to follow our company page on LinkedIn for the latest updates. And if you’d like to meet up at the HR Tech show in Las Vegas, October 10th-13th, please get in touch.?
