Time is money and productivity is a coveted commodity in the workplace. But so many people find themselves grappling with countless distractions that can suck precious hours out of their workday. There are ways to limit and avoid the biggest workplace distractions. Back to work after the holidays and back to the endless cycle of meetings, emails, and interruptions at work. According to a recent survey by the Society of Human Resource Management, employees waste an average of two hours and 53 minutes each day at work. That adds up to more than 500 hours a year. FILE: Woman working from a computer on a bed Meetings, emails and interruptions, oh my! The number one time suck? Unnecessary meetings. A study out of Berkley found the average employee attends 55 meetings per month and 31 percent of them are unproductive. Studies show during COVID, more meetings were held on zoom than were held before COVID in the office. Now, the new normal is more meetings, even if they are virtual. Business Insider estimates a third of those meetings are unproductive and cost $37 billion each year in wasted time and resources.
