Nearly half of Singapore leaders (45%) spend at least one hour a day catching up on overdue tasks, according to a new report commissioned by Zoom and conducted by Morning Consult.
The report also shows that leaders in Singapore are more affected by this issue than employees (32%). They are also more likely to experience this overall than leaders in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region (32%).
Collaboration challenges
Finding time on their schedules to connect (85%), finding time on others’ schedules (85%), and not having enough time in between meetings to get things done (85%) are the top challenges of Singapore leaders when collaborating.
Future of collaboration
Findings reveal that 80% of leaders think AI features within tools and apps make them more productive. The APAC region also emerged as the region with the highest percentage of employees reporting daily or near-daily usage of AI (38%).
Singapore leaders are seeing benefits in AI implementation, including better brainstorming ideas (89%), better communication (87%), and making it easier for colleagues to work in different locations (86%).
“AI will revolutionise the future of collaboration. Our data shows that many Singapore leaders and employees are already embracing AI, with a growing recognition of its ability to save time and drive productivity. However, there remains untapped potential to expand AI’s use and maximise its value in the workplace, particularly in enabling and improving collaboration efficiency. Moving forward, organisations need to assess how AI is currently being integrated and ask the right questions about where else AI can be implemented to create a real impact on both collaboration and productivity,” Ricky Kapur, head of Asia Pacific at Zoom, said.
