Social networking websites, alleged slayers of productivity, have once again been targeted by a study / survey. The hypotheses: Social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook are arresting the productivity of office workers. The conclusion: The IT services group Morse found, after interviewing 1,460 UK office workers, that social networking sites roughly cost UK firms $2.25 billion dollars annually.
Needless to say, that’s a lot of money.
If you are a person in a leadership position, brace yourself…this next bit might shock you. The study further estimated that office workers waste spend around 40 minutes on social networking sites…a week.
