A New Mindset: Catch Up with the latest Work Better Magazine

What if the workplace could actually help your brain work better instead of working against it? The latest issue of the Work Better magazine explores this idea in A New Mindset, a story that looks at how today’s work is stretching our cognitive capacity in new ways. Research shows the average attention span has dropped to just 47 seconds, reshaping how we think, collaborate, and manage mental load. It introduces the concept of “ergonomics for the brain” — designing spaces that protect attention, restore mental energy, and support clearer thinking as AI accelerates the pace of work. You can read the full story in the magazine, available digitally or delivered to right to your address.
