YOL and Work Time Revolution Launch “Beyond Busywork” to Redefine Productivity in the Age of AI

New program helps organizations boost productivity, trust, and wellbeing by redesigning work for the age of AI.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, October 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- YOL, a pioneer in experiential wellbeing and leadership development, today announced a strategic partnership with Work Time Revolution, the global organization founded by Joe O’Connor to reimagine how work gets done. Together, they are launching Beyond Busywork: A Smarter Approach to Sustainable Performance, a new program that helps leaders and teams achieve more by doing less — and doing it better.

The collaboration was unveiled during YOL’s October 28 Partner Spotlight conversation, “Hacking Productivity: Innovative Work Models in the Age of AI,” featuring O’Connor and YOL CEO David Cherner. The discussion explored how organizations can reduce overload, rebuild trust, and design systems that support both human energy and performance in an era of accelerating change.

“Busywork is the hidden tax on productivity,” said Joe O’Connor, Co-Founder and CEO of Work Time Revolution. “We’ve overloaded teams with meetings, messages, and tools — and it’s draining creativity and capacity. Beyond Busywork gives leaders a practical roadmap to redesign how work happens, freeing time for focus, innovation, and wellbeing.”

“This partnership reflects where the future of work is headed,” added David Cherner, CEO of YOL. “Organizations are realizing that wellbeing and performance aren’t separate — they’re interdependent. With Beyond Busywork, we’re helping leaders embed wellbeing into the workflow itself, not bolt it on as an afterthought.”

Developed jointly by YOL and Work Time Revolution, Beyond Busywork combines science, strategy, and simple practices to help teams:
- Identify and eliminate low-value work
- Redesign meetings and collaboration to restore focus and energy

The program is available in three formats — Essentials Sprint, Deep Dive Series, and Retreat Intensive — and includes optional add-ons such as an AI Learning Coach and ROI Toolkit for measuring impact.
