In Wisconsin, for every eight hours work an employer pays for, the employee is likely to deliver less than six. Respondents admit to wasting 2.8 hours on activities such as:
Surfing the Internet for personal use
Socializing with co-workers
Conducting personal business
Take out employer sanctioned time off such as lunch breaks, vacation time and sick leave and the productivity picture looks even worse. Yvonne McCoy owner of Swift Office Services, a Virtual Assistant firm based in Eagle, Wisconsin, reports that the number one time-wasting excuse is “Don’t have enough work to do.”
The top four time-wasting states are Missouri, Indiana, Kentucky and Wisconsin.
