Russ Warner,CEO of Content Watch, points that employees are wasting company time. There are many activities employees do that waste time at work.Excessive meetings,co-worker interactions,office politics, and fixing mistakes are a few. According to a recent survey, one of the biggest culprits is surfing the internet. According to the survey , a majority of employees regularly spend time surfing the Internet on websites unrelated to work.Specifically,the survey revealed 64 percent of employees visit non-work related websites every day at work. Of that group, 39 percent spend 1 hour or less per week, 29 percent spend 2 hours per week, 21 percent waste 5 hours per week, and only 3 percent said they waste 10 hours or more doing unrelated activities. The survey also revealed which websites keep employees most off-task.Not surprisingly,socializing on Facebook occupied 41 percent ,while 37 percent use LinkedIn,and 25 percent are shopping at Amazon.Other destinations include Yahoo!and Google. Respondents said the No.1 reason for slacking at work was that they don ’ t feel challenged enough in their job.Other reasons include, they work too many hours, the company doesn ’ t give enough incentive to work harder, they are unsatisfied with their career, and they ’ re just bored. There are many ways companies can fight against the effect of wasted employee time within their organizations. For example, 71 percent of the respondents said short breaks throughout the day help them achieve higher levels of productivity. As it relates to inappropriate website browsing, companies can use a web-filtering tool on company computers.In any case, it ’ s good business practice for companies to create, publish, and enforce policies on personal Internet use.
