Employees Use On Average 15 Biz Apps A Day—Yet They’re Feeling Less Aligned Than Ever With Company Goals, Says #stratapp
A majority of employees now performing their jobs from home because of the COVID-19 pandemic complain they feel increasingly disconnected from the pace and flow of the office, despite employers providing a multitude of apps to facilitate remote work and collaboration, according to findings released today by tech company #stratapp.
The findings suggest that a major source of this decoupling is the sheer number of apps with which employees must now interact. #stratapp said it estimated the average worker utilizes upward of 15 apps across finance, service, support, HR, time, collaboration, meetings, projects and tasks.
“The problem for employees is there are simply too many apps they need to jump in and out of throughout the course of the day,” said Ash Richardson, co-founder of #stratapp.

We believe #stratapp is an innovation that almost every leader has imagined, and that every leader needs in this post COVID-19 world
Said Richardson, “The hardest thing for any leader is to keep their remote workers, contractors, partners, suppliers and in-office staff moving together in the same direction—and not just aligned, but also motivated, engaged and really believing in what the company is trying to accomplish. Employers lament that they’ve got an app for everything, but nothing that truly enables the collaborative formulation of strategic plans and inclusive execution by distributed teams. Consequently, a leader could be touching a dozen or more apps and still be in the dark about what’s really going on in the company, or where they can add the most value.”
#stratapp offers a solution to the disconnect created by the deployment of too many apps, said co-founder Marten Jagers. The solution, he indicated, comes in the form of a unique all-in-one digital workspace bearing the same name as the company, #stratapp.

Introduced earlier this year and now utilized by companies large and small across five continents, this all-in-one solution delivers “everything you need to start, manage and grow the organization—aligning and motivating your teams on strategy execution—all from a single workspace,” said Richardson.
#stratapp’s all-in-one digital workspace is designed to empower true collaboration across “The Leadership Cycle”, beginning with ideation, and then extending into the planning, strategizing, and execution stages, Jagers offered.
“The #stratapp concept is to radically simplify how a company achieves what it sets out to do,” he said. “We see our mission as aligning everyone, at all levels and wherever they choose to work from, in one digital workspace that balances strategic initiatives and daily work.”
