Make Your Work Matter: Workfront launches powerful ebook to disrupt Britain's workers
LONDON, April 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Workfront®, the leading provider of cloud-based enterprise work management solutions, today published its new ebook 'Make Your Work Matter' which looks to challenge the way the UK looks at the work week. With chapters drafted by thought leaders within the business world, the book explores how modern day workers can navigate new technologies to remain attentive, motivated, and increase their overall productivity.
Make Your Work Matter: 7 Thought Leaders on Why Work Isn't Working For You and How You Can Change It', digs into the fascinating history of the modern workplace, addresses some of the causes of underperformance, challenges conventional wisdom, and provides actionable solutions for today's workers, as well as provides much needed insight for managers.
Workfront set out to create the ebook following findings from its research that too many qualified, talented individuals find themselves underperforming at work, often due to archaic routines, processes, and tools. The ebook's central objective is to demonstrate that the 'typical' working life of constant overtime can be overhauled and workers can reclaim their productivity and effectiveness within a standard 40-hour week.
Alex Shootman, CEO of Workfront commented:
"We've brought together some of the best minds in the industry to create a knowledge tool that is not just insightful, but most importantly, practical. A lot of the content here pushes against today's norms and customs and forces the reader to think about the purpose of work in a new way. We hope this ebook invigorates all who read it and inspires them to change their work life for the better."
