Leantime Unveils Redesigned Interface: Personalising Workplace Experience With AI-Powered Solutions

Leantime, a developer of AI-powered, science-based workplace experience solutions, announces the launch of its redesigned interface that bridges the gaps in employee engagement and neurodiversity inclusion.

Leantime, a developer of AI-powered, science-based workplace experience solutions, today announced the launch of its redesigned interface that reimagines work engagement, marking a pivotal milestone in the company's journey toward enhancing individualised work experiences while leveraging the core principles of behavioral science. With this redesign, Leantime is bridging the gaps in employee engagement and neurodiversity inclusion-areas where traditional HR initiatives have faced challenges.

"Initiatives at work are failing due to the absence of consistent and personalized approaches in how work is organized and executed," says Gloria Folaron, co-founder and CEO of Leantime. "This gap underscores the critical need to reframe how we work, emphasizing the 'why' behind tasks (creating focus and direction) while nurturing a more personalized and relational experience for each employee. Putting engagement where we track the work is something that makes so much sense but hasn't been done."

How Leamtime empowers neurodivergent entrepreneurs?

Leantime is focused on supporting startups and SMBs as entrepreneurship runs deeply through the neurodivergent skill set. They are less likely to be risk averse, are great problem solvers, and hard working. In fact, people with ADHD are 300% more likely to start a business-often due to the flexibility, ownership, and opportunities that the individual can self create and where workplaces have often missed them. Studies found that 35% of entrepreneurs have dyslexia compared to only 15% of the general population. Famous neurodivergent entrepreneurs include Steve Jobs (dyslexia), Bill Gates (ADHD), and Elon Musk (autism).

Across the board, the traditional workplace is failing both employees and neurodivergent employees with the global employee engagement rate having fallen to 21%, costing trillions in lost productivity and turnover. This drop stems from a lack of purpose-driven work, inconsistent employee experiences, and insufficient feedback, transparency, and communication. Traditional HR surveys, giveaways, and work management tools fall short in fostering communication, motivation, and the ability to see tangible impact, exacerbating the issue rather than resolving it.

With 1 in 5 being neurodivergent, and with the top neurodivergent careers encompassing small business owners, entrepreneurs, software developers, project managers, and marketing professionals, there is likely a neurodivergent person on every team.

Reports showcase a 30% increase in productivity within neurodiverse teams and that inclusive organisations generate 19% more revenue, emphasizing the significance of promoting neurodiversity inclusion. Impacting inclusion starts with startups and SMBs as they build the future unicorns and are looking for ways to create culture, differentiate their businesses and be set up for success.

Built with a foundation of neurodivergence and ADHD needs, the new redesign is the result of extensive Phase 1 validation, focused on simplifying project management, gathering user feedback, and incorporating cognitive accessibility principles. Phase 2 further establishes Leantime's commitment to integrating cutting-edge AI and behavioral science features to empower users.

The key features of the redesigned platform by Leantime

Leantime's redesigned platform introduces a host of groundbreaking features, transforming project management with unparalleled efficiency and customization. Utilising cutting-edge AI, the platform now offers AI Task Breakdown, automatically disassembling tasks into essential subtasks for a seamlessly streamlined project execution. This empowers users to optimise their workflow and focus on critical elements, enhancing overall productivity.

A centerpiece of the redesign is the Customisable "My Work" Widget Board, allowing users to tailor their workspace to individual preferences. Through simple drag-and-drop functionality, users can personalise their environment, selecting, sizing, and arranging widgets for a truly customised project management experience. Additionally, features like Time Boxing with Calendar Integration enable efficient time blocking for work-related tasks, providing a user-friendly interface to synchronise with external calendars. 

The platform's Task-Switching Reminders (Pomodoro) further foster productivity by incorporating customisable timers, strategically reminding users when to transition between tasks for optimal focus. With an intuitive Notes Feature on "My Work" Boards, users can effortlessly create checklists, take notes, and organise project details. The Visual Project Hub caters to those who prefer a visually oriented approach, offering an intuitive format for accessing projects. 

Enhanced Goal Progress Tracking with improved widget views adds another layer of visibility and management, providing users with powerful tools to track and achieve their project goals. 

Alongside these new features, Leantime is also unveiling a plug-in marketplace for its open-source community, allowing users to enhance their existing tools while retaining data ownership.

"This release represents a defining shift in how we approach inclusion in software, neurodiversity, and meaningful work," says Marcel Folaron, co-founder and CTO of Leantime. "By collaborating with behavioral scientists, Leantime is laying the groundwork to provide actionable 1:1 guidance through personalized experiences. This will empower users to set goals effectively and navigate their work journey with clarity and purpose."

As Leantime continues its exponential growth, with over 25,500 installations across open-source and cloud platforms, the company is strategically fundraising to bolster integrations, facilitate seamless migration, and develop a mobile application. The mobile app aims to support neurodivergent employees and enhance user adoption.
