We dream of a world where smartphones serve people without taking over their lives.
We believe that smartphone use is not an individual problem, but a collective habit that affects our attention, relationships and work culture.
By means of lunch & learns, lectures, workshops and productivity and vitality trajectories, we initiate behavioral change. This has an impact on individuals, as well as on teams and organizations.

BUSINESS CASE
What does an unhealthy smartphone culture cost your organization?
An overactive smartphone culture seems innocent-after all, everyone is " reachable and flexible." But in reality, your organization pays a high price for it, every day.
Every interruption costs on average, 23 minutes of recovery time. With a wage cost of €45 per hour, that means around €17 per diversion. With 5 interruptions per day, this amounts to more than €19,500 per employee per year. Invest in attention, and you gain time, rest and productivity.

How does that €17 per diversion come about?
Recovery time after interruption: average 23 minutes to be fully concentrated again (source: NRC, 2019).
Average wage costs: about €45 per hour including employer's expenses (source: CBS, 2023).
Calculation:
23 minutes = 23/60 hours ≈ 0.38 hours
Costs per diversion = 0.38 hours × €45 / hour = €17,10
Each distraction costs your organization more than 17 Euros in lost focus and time.
Every burnout costs an average of 279 days of absenteeism. With a wage cost of €45 per hour, that equates to around €72,000 per employee. With 1 in 5 workers experiencing burnout symptoms, taking no action is simply too expensive. Invest in recovery, and you will gain resilience, loyalty and results.

How does that €60,000 to €80,000 per burnout come about?
Duration of absence in case of burnout: average 279 days (over 9 months) (source: TNO, 2023).
Working days: at 5 working days per week that amounts to ± 200 working days.
Daily wage costs: average €45 per hour × 8 hours = €360 per day.
Total labor costs in the event of burnout: 200 days × €360 = €72.000
In addition, there are often additional costs:
Replacement or loss of productivity in the team
Reintegration and guidance through occupational health and safety services
Increased workload and stress among colleagues
Therefore, the total damage per burnout is often estimated between €60,000 and €80,000.
