The average American employee loses 6.75 hours of work time per day to our culture of constant interruption and distraction. The task-switching driven by addicting communication technology has driven stress to record levels—with measurable compromises to heart health, blood pressure, and mental health for every employee. The US economy loses $300 Billion annually from stress-driven  absenteeism, diminished productivity, & accidents. Using neuroscience-based gamification tools and evolutionary biology, Nora Simpson, CEO of Simpson Strategic Solutions, has helped hundreds of companies & teams master this issue while measurably increasing profit. If you missed her fantastic session at this year's Garden State Council Conference, now is your chance to catch an encore presentation!
