You should, after checking out our latest infographic! Believe it or not, wasted productivity time costs U.S. employers an estimated $134 billion in their employees’ lost efforts.

Seeing as “time is money,” every hour wasted on non-company tasks directly impacts the company image, annual outcome, and overall return on investments.

There are many factors that contribute to wasted productivity, and a majority of them are lumped into what’s known as “cyberslacking”: when an employer spends company time on the Internet, and engages in non-work related behaviors that take away from work. Playing games, entering online chat groups, and uploading non-official files and images are just some of the many examples of this cyberslacking trend, often carried out by unsuspecting employees who don’t realize they’re being monitored.

A whopping 30 to 40 percent of lost productivity is a direct result of employee cyberslacking. FUrthermore, an estimated 25 percent of corporate Internet traffic is considered to be unrelated to work.
