Navigating multiple communications apps at work annoys men more in every situation; West Coast workers and baby boomers lead in conquering app overload
RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE:RNG), a leading provider of global enterprise cloud communications and collaboration solutions, today released new findings exploring how workers manage app overload in relation to their gender, geographic location, and age group. While workers around the world still have a long way to go to effectively manage the influx of workplace apps—specifically communications apps—West Coast employees, women, and baby boomers are leading the way in reducing the chaos and moving toward workplace zen.

Infographic: App Overload Trends in the Digital Workplace Provided by RingCentral
A March 2018 survey report conducted by CITE Research on behalf of RingCentral, From Workplace Chaos to Zen: How App Overload Is Reshaping the Digital Workplace, found that using multiple communications apps designed to enhance productivity in many cases actually hampers effectiveness when used together. According to the report, seven in 10 workers waste up to an hour each day navigating these apps—the equivalent of up to 32 wasted days per year.
The survey of 2,000 knowledge workers across all industries in the US, UK, and Australia found that all workers are not created equal when it comes to managing this communications chaos. Based on their gender, geographic location, and age group, certain workers are ahead of the pack in their quest to overcome app overload and achieve workplace zen.
Battle of the sexes: women rock multitasking at work
Survey analysis shows that women consistently get less annoyed than men when navigating multiple apps, supporting other research findings that women are more at ease with multitasking.
In all 14 scenarios explored in the research, men always find navigating multiple apps more annoying than women do. The biggest gaps between genders were in the following scenarios:
West Coast cool: Western workers get the least stressed by app overload
West Coast workers (i.e., workers in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) navigate between apps the most, but are also least challenged by their communications load and find it the least chaotic. As home to three of the top six high-tech metro areas in America, according to recent research, deep technology immersion undoubtedly helps West Coasters lead the way in mastering the influx of communications tools to enhance productivity and reduce workplace chaos.
With age comes zen: baby boomers quiet the chaos
Older workers (ages 55 and older) navigate fewer apps and find communications volume less challenging, putting them ahead on the path to workplace zen. This is likely because baby boomers use the fewest communications apps.
“We still have a long way to go to curb workplace productivity losses that result from switching between communications channels, but we can learn invaluable lessons from those that have made headway overcoming app overload,” said Neha Mirchandani, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at RingCentral. “Our report From Workplace Chaos to Zen revealed that integrated workplace communications solutions that minimize the number of apps deliver time savings, better collaboration, and increased productivity. Two in three workers called for a single platform to manage all their communications and help them achieve what has eluded them to date—workplace zen.”
