Cost of a Disorganized Office

 

According to the Wall Street Journal, the average executive loses six weeks a year retrieving misplaced information, which translates into enormous costs in salary and lost productivity.  Money magazine research found that the average office worker wastes up to 5.6 hours of EVERY work day! Following is their example of how a typical office employee spends an eight hour day:

 

20.83%    Answering or sending e-mail

18.75%    Looking for "stuff"

12.50%    Interruptions from phone calls, etc.

12.92%    Internet research or cyber shopping

35.00%    Productive Work

 

You are not alone if your workplace productivity is around 50%.  By taming one or two of these categories, you can increase your productivity and decrease costs. Results are immediate - giving you the time to be productive on revenue generating activities.
