Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 5 page paper discussing how technology can be instrumental in contributing to employee turnover. Technology can be a strong tool to use in employee retention, but it also can present challenges. It must be managed effectively so that people use it, rather than serve it. The manager must ensure that the reverse does not occur, and certainly that it not be allowed to remain that way if it does manage to impose itself unnoticed. The paper uses attention deficit trait (ADT), disallowance of telecommuting and the inability to be inaccessible outside of work as its examples. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

by too "much to do, too little time, too few resources" (Brain overload, 2005; p. 37) and can be defined as being "a severe case of modern life ... what
happens to the brain when it becomes overloaded with information, obligations and more data points than it can keep up with" (Brain overload, 2005; p. 37). The individual begins
...to resemble someone with actual attention deficit disorder--distractibility, impulsivity, impatience, restlessness, irritability. In an attempt to get everything done, you become less and less efficient, and that leads to underachievement
and deteriorating performance even as youre trying to improve (Brain overload, 2005; p. 37). Hallowell offers several suggestions for curbing ADT, avoiding it
where possible and extricating oneself from it after recognizing it. One of those suggestions is to ask someone "to help you stop talking on the phone, e-mailing or working
