Query:
If you've been feeling overwhelmed at work lately, you are not
alone. Over 30% of Firstline and information workers in our
study said the pandemic has increased their feelings of burnout
at work. If there's one thing our research has shown us, it's
that everyone is experiencing this time differently--we're all
in the same storm, but are weathering it in different boats. For
instance, 44% of those in Brazil are feeling more burned out
compared to 31% in the US and 10% in Germany. While burnout can
be attributed to many factors, the chart below explores how
longer workdays impact feelings of burnout. For example, workers
in Australia saw the highest increase in workday span in
Microsoft Teams1 (45%), with a medium increase in burnout. While
workers in Germany saw very little change to workday span or
feelings of burnout.
How can digital enterprises avoid employee burnout?

Query:
Has your company ever had a disconnect with the customer? The
company read the customer wrong? Assumed the customer wanted
something they didn't? The prospect's perception gap?
This is why marketing and business is so hard. Businesses make
assumptions about the customer. But sometimes they are wrong.
We're looking for specific examples of how you overcame this
disconnect with the customer. The specific example can be from
any industry and should include: * Before (what the company
thought the customer wanted) * After (how you changed things)
* Results * Advice for other marketers based on your specific
example * Your/your sources' role in the campaign/message
Please include your (and/or your client's) name, title, and
company, so we know how to attribute you in the article if your
example is chosen (if your proposed source works for an agency,
platform or other vendor, we need a quote with advice for
marketers from someone who actually works at the brand/client as
well).
Feel free to include your LinkedIn and Twitter handles for when
we share the article with our audience on social media
(https://twitter.com/marketingsherpa).
Here is a key piece of content we'll be sharing in the article,
to spark your thinking:
