Limiting Distractions At Work

Skip Reardon - Wednesday, January 11, 2012
How many times are you distracted at the office on an average day? 

What do you think these interruptions cost you in productive work time? The answer is probably more than you think. 

According to a recent survey of more than 500 workers conducted by uSamp:
  • More than 50 percent of workers waste an hour or more each day on interruptions.
  • 60 percent of workers are regularly interrupted by email and other electronic missives 
  • 40 percent cite phone calls and communicative colleagues as the biggest distractions.
The survey estimated that distractions cost businesses more than $10,000 per worker per year.
