The average British office worker loses nearly three hours day, or 80 days year, to office inefficiencies or distractions – and technology is the biggest time waster.
According to recent UK survey, workers each lose around 48 minutes day to computer slowdowns, crashes or printer jams. Dealing with colleagues absorbs another 34 minutes; unnecessary phone and conference calls gobble up 26 minutes; pointless meetings further 23 minutes; sifting through unwanted emails 16 minutes and finding lost or misplaced information wastes about 13 minutes.
Technology the time saver!
