Employee Productivity Losses: Way Too Much Time Is Being Wasted

Employee Productivity Losses: Technology is an integral component of business growth, yet it causes huge losses of employee productivity within a company. It's primary purpose in a business environment is to facilitate increased productivity, and yet very recently, it has served to reduce these productivity levels. The reason for this is in the way technology is used.

The challenge for most Executives is to figure out a way to recover from the lost time when employees connect with friends, carry out personal business and even organize personal projects through the web. This is quite detrimental to growth and productivity of a business (when the time is spent during work hours). The figures are alarming.

2 Hours and 5 Minutes wasted each day by each employee *

“30-40% of lost productivity is accounted for by cyber-slacking.” **

“70% of all web traffic to Internet pornography sites occurs during the work hours of 9am-5pm.” ***

Some Executives have HR modify wages to accommodate for 1 hour in lost time, however the reality is over 2 hours lost on average (each day, each employee)!

Is wage reduction the solution? Not quite. Wage reduction requires a modification of 25%-33% to the wages to counter the problem. If this was done, it would reflect negatively on the talent hired to get the job done in the first place!

So the real question is, should we lose talent, or revenue? Again, the answer is neither. In this ultra-competitive marketplace we can't afford to lose either. IT Werks has developed a solution that addresses, amongst others, these business needs.

First, it is important to get an idea of how big the problem is. To help you calculate how much time is wasted in your company, we have created a productivity loss calculator that will help quantify this productivity loss. It is important to understand what this loss means to your exact situation.

We now offer a no-cost, executive-only, orientation that outlines what the solution can really mean for a company that has between 8 to 24 employees. It is a 23 minute on-site educational orientation that outlines the problems and solutions to wasted time.
