Description

Workers today are more digitally connected than ever — and yet many feel like they have less time to do meaningful work. In this episode of Work Week, Dr. Gabby Burlacu explores how organizations can use AI to escape meeting overload and reclaim focus time.

Drawing on data from Microsoft's latest Work Trend Index, we unpack how real-time interruptions, ad hoc meetings, and fragmented communication are consuming the most critical hours of the work day. But there's a new way forward — one in which AI has the potential to become a valuable focus tool.

Learn practical strategies to use AI to filter messages, automate routine tasks, and coordinate team time more intelligently — without replacing the personal connections that matter most.
