Halting Technology Fatigue with Intentional Tech Deployments

Tech fatigue is slowing modern workplaces.

In this UC Today interview, host Kristian McCann sits down with Sabra Sciolaro, Chief People Officer at FirstUp, to unpack the growing problem of tech fatigue in modern workplaces.

Technology is meant to make work easier — but for many employees, it’s doing the opposite. In this conversation, Sciolaro explains how constant platform changes, tool sprawl, and fragmented communication channels are creating attention fatigue, slowing execution, and draining momentum across organizations.

Key takeaways include:

  • Why tech fatigue isn’t just about “too many tools,” but about constant change, poor orchestration, and lack of clarity
  • How attention fatigue leads directly to disengagement, slower decisions, and stalled innovation
  • What “intentional tech deployment” looks like in practice — fewer channels, smarter personalization, and AI-driven orchestration
  • How leaders should measure success beyond usage metrics, focusing on clarity, alignment, action, and outcomes
