REMEMBER THIS • Don’t suffer in silence. A workplace where people can’t talk about technology overuse is also one where people keep other important issues (and insights) to themselves. • Knowing that your voice matters is essential. Teams that foster psychological safety and facilitate regular open discussions about concerns not only have fewer problems with distraction but also have happier employees and customers. 8 My first job out of college was at BCG, well before Perlow’s work at the company. I did not stay at the firm for long.
