Workplace burnout is rampant, complicating the ability of service teams to deliver quality support. High levels of stress stem from inadequate workplace practices, such as poor communication and insufficient training. As a consequence, frustrated employees are unable to manage customer issues effectively, translating into decreased customer loyalty and financial losses for organizations. Studies indicate that knowledge workers spend almost a quarter of their workweek navigating complex internal processes, resulting in a 'productivity tax'. Consequently, enterprises face financial losses, while employees experience adverse emotional effects that diminish motivation.
In my work, I frequently observe teams whose purpose is to provide top-level service fall into frustration with their inability to deliver.
A recent study from Gallup found the average knowledge worker spends nearly 10 hours each week navigating internal processes and bureaucracy, leading to a so-called 'productivity tax'.
