Note from employee to employer: “It’s Not Me, It’s You.” This could be the cliff notes to Part 2 of the 2023 Digital Work Trends report by Slingshot in which 34% of employees say they have to guess their priorities at work. 

The 2023 Digital Work Trends Report by Slingshot found that 72% of workers primarily utilise data to enhance performance, and over half (54%) employ data to organise their goals. It was revealed that all Gen Z workers use data in their work at least on a weekly basis, with a staggering 61% using it daily.

Slingshot’s Digital Work Trends Report shines a light on how data–or anything that individuals, teams and organizations use to track performance, process, people, platforms and profitability–is now not only accessible to employees, but a critical and necessary part to their productivity.

The inaugural report explores the relationship between productivity and workers’ access to data–or any metric within an organization that illustrates performance and progress. While many businesses have been prioritizing autonomy and workplace flexibility to improve worker productivity, 65% of workers say that a lack of data is what most negatively impacts their ability to do their jobs.

Slingshot users can now access a library of pre-built processes and data dashboards that bring together everything teams need to manage projects and analyze their real-time performance in one place.

Slingshot was named the winner of a Stevie® Award in The 20th Annual International Business Awards®. The company was honored in the “Work Management Platform” category for its comprehensive platform designed to enable teams to collaborate, make data-driven decisions, share content and communicate within the context of the projects they’re working on.

65% of workers say that a lack of data is what most negatively impacts their ability to do their jobs. Read on for other important findings in Slingshot’s Part 1 of the 2023 Digital Work Trends Report and see what other factors impact the work, and why “data is better than just data”.
