“Communication is good but sometimes we can have too much of a good thing – especially if it results in workers not having uninterrupted time to actually get work done,” said Robby Macdonell, CEO of RescueTime. But one downside of Slack and other instant messaging and collaboration technologies is that they sometimes make people feel like they have to be “always on.” The notifications from Slack can be addictive and distracting, taking people out of their moments of focus and productive flow. Slack can help make work more fun and give remote teams a stronger sense of togetherness. Consultants cited collaboration overload, the overuse of systems to communicate and share information as a top challenge.
