Email, video and messaging apps such as Slack and Microsoft Teams make it possible to easily collaborate with co-workers, no matter what time zone (or country) they happen to be in.
And access to mobile versions of the same apps means that colleagues can quickly respond to a DM, follow a group conversation or make a quick edit to file at virtually any time.According to a survey of 2,000 United States office workerscommissioned earlier this year by LogMeIn, 54% of employees have at least five different programs running simultaneously, and 56% use at least three different tools to stay connected with colleagues.
This can hit productivity: 59% of respondents felt they&re wasting time by switching between apps.(Insider Story)
