　　Fed up with his staff constantly checking emails and alerts (警报) on their smart phones, Paul Devoy decided to ban all phones, tablets and laptops from meetings. Consequently, the head of Investors in People, the UK body that sets workplace standards, says meetings have become much more productive as attendees are entirely focused.

　　The distracting pull of digital devices and the harmful effect that has on our ability to concentrate is well documented. In one Stanford University study, people who regularly deal with electronic alerts and messages do not pay attention, control their memory or switch from one job to another as well as those who concentrate on doing one thing at a time.

　　Mr Devoy introduced his ban on technology in meetings alongside sessions (会议) for staff on mindfulness, which he says helped to put this seemingly strict ban into context and head off resistance. Exceptions are made if important personal calls are expected.

　　“These things need to be proportionate (适度的),” he says, adding he was surprised to find that his staff were receptive and some even enthusiastic about the ban.
