The Role of Images & Video in Workplace Productivity | Tom Solid

The digital age has ushered in its fair share of upsides and challenges, especially when it comes to productivity. While there are so many applications and tools that promise to make it a lot easier, sometimes, they do the opposite.

That’s probably why people end up getting lost in the maze of keeping up with the times, are overwhelmed while finding information, or are just plain unproductive.

The critical question here is, how do you address this productivity problem? And how can videos and images play a part?

With us on this episode of The Visual Lounge is Tom Solid, the founder, and CEO of The Paperless Movement and a workplace productivity guru of sorts. He’s leveraged years of working in big industries and academic institutions to solve the same productivity issues most people face in the digital age.

He has worked with an array of teams in multiple industries and has helped increase their productivity by as much as 60%.
