Employees have never had access to more information in the workplace than they do today. While that seems like a great thing in theory, in reality it can be overwhelming for employees as they become overloaded and overburdened with information. For companies needing to send important information to their staff, this can be extremely problematic, and requires a unique solution.
Information overload is a term that has been coined to describe the excess of information that is available to someone who is trying to complete tasks or make decisions. Instead of being useful, it can actually be a hindrance. People can have too much information to effectively make a decision, or the information they need may not be easy to find – lost in all the other information people are exposed to.
Consider this. The average employee:
This is more information than most people are able to sustainably deal with on a daily basis. Many emails and chat messages go unread as people can’t keep up with it all. Chances are, If you’ve sent something important it may never even bee seen, let alone acted on.
When employees don’t have the information they need to do their jobs properly, it makes it difficult for them to work towards corporate goals and priorities. Mistakes can be made, which can have implications for profit margins, and can even lead to legal or reputational problems.
There are many scenarios in the workplace where you need to ensure that employees receive important information from management. This information may be time-sensitive, or may have ramifications for the company if not acted upon.
This can include:
