It is common to find an excess of information in modern companies, exacerbated by the increase in digitalisation of workplaces. This can cause negative consequences on the quality of data received, time management, and professional agility, as well as individual risks such as distraction, difficulty making decisions, and gaps in digital skills.
To remedy this, it is important to raise awareness among employees of the limits of the human mind and to implement information management strategies and practical and technical tools to manage this excess of information. It is also important to focus on developing specific individual and collective skills necessary to ensure a truly "tech-savvy" workforce and to promote the positive impact of digitalisation on all employees.
The "Info Flow Savvy Academy" project launched by IMS Luxembourg aims to achieve these goals by providing concrete elements to reduce professional information overload and preserve the mental health of employees. This guide provides suggestions for finding the most suitable solutions for your company and for implementing practical applications for managing information effectively. It is funded by the European Social Fund, the Ministry of State, the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Solidarity Economy, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Employees. It is important to note that information overload can have negative collective effects on team structure, creativity and innovation, and it also accentuates the limits of the digital society.
