Cut through digital distraction to maximize performance Studies show the average person will experience 3 distractions before they reach the end of this page, and the majority of those distractions will be self-initiated. Smartphones and social technology have blended endless opportunities to improve productivity with a barrage of distractions demanding our attention.

You'll learn how to: * Overcome digital distractions and let your employees work * Minimize interruptions and limit unnecessary interaction * Establish a climate of focus and concentration * Engage intelligently with emerging technology As job descriptions and workloads expand, the last thing your employees need is a productivity drain. Can I Have Your Attention? shows you how to reverse the current paradigm and make the workplace once again a place of work.
