Taking away smartphones improves productivity

A study shows that smartphones reduce productivity rather than improving it.

The Universities of Würzburg and Nottingham-Trent carried out the study, which was commissioned by Kaspersky Lab. It showed that employees’ performance improved 26 percent when their smartphones were taken away.

The experiment tested the behaviour of 95 people between 19 and 56 years of age in laboratories at the universities of Würzburg and Nottingham-Trent.

Altaf Halde, managing director – South Asia at Kaspersky Lab said the experiment unearthed a correlation between productivity levels and the distance between participants and their smartphones.
