Atlassian You Waste a Lot of Time at Work

A look at our daily inefficiencies and the tools that can help us address them.

Text reading "You waste a lot of time at work" with the words colored in different hues: "waste" in pink, "time" in blue, and "at work" in yellow. A small stopwatch icon is next to the word "time.

The challenge

Just because you’re at work, doesn’t mean you’re actually getting work done. We all know how hard it is to concentrate when your email constantly pops up and demands attention or you’re stuck in pointless meetings. What if we actually monetized how much the economy loses to avoidable distractions on the clock? It would add up to the billions.

The opportunity

The Australian developer Atlassian has made a careful study of workplace efficiency, and specializes in software solutions for the information age professional. More than 21,000 companies of all sizes use Atlassian issue tracking, collaboration, and software development products to work faster and smarter while wasting less time at work.

And at the bottom of the vertically scrolling graphic, we let visitors know just how much time they’ve spent reading our content and remind them to get back to work!
