\"A<\/a>

A great urban myth<\/p><\/div>I was reading a really interesting article in The Guardian <\/em><\/strong>this morning about workplace productivity and why people waste too much time in the office. I think there\u2019s a simple answer to that \u2013 because they can!<\/p>\n

The one thing about running your own business that make my heart sing is the fact that I\u2019m doing what I want to do. That makes me highly motivated to ensure that my workplace productivity stays high and that I get results. My time \u2013 like your time \u2013 is valuable, so I don\u2019t squander it. In large offices or other workplaces your time is paid for by someone else, so you really aren\u2019t so bothered. It does strike me that if employees were more invested in workplaces \u2013 such as co-ops etc., workplace productivity would remain high.<\/p>\n

In small businesses, the level of engagement between employees and employers\/owners\/managers tends to be quite good in my experience \u2013 but it\u2019s probably true for any business, the more one cares about a business and the people who run it, the more likely you are to want to see it succeed.<\/p>\n

In The Guardian <\/em><\/strong>article, Peter Fleming, professor of Business and Society at Cass Business School at City University London explains how much of the work day is \u2018increasingly padded out with less productive activities<\/em>,\u2019 so much so that when a few years ago a disturbing story appeared in the media announcing: “Man Dies at Office Desk – Nobody Notices for Five Days<\/strong>” many people accepted the story as true. That\u2019s how productive people think their colleagues are!<\/p>\n

The story was fake, but as Fleming notes we enjoy the idea \u2013 and recognise the plausibility of it. He says, \u2018We might even embellish the story ourselves. Perhaps the dead accountant not only went unnoticed for five days but was rewarded with a promotion for all the extra hours and loyalty, possibly making vice president<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Staying<\/a>

Staying late?<\/p><\/div>Work in the corporate world seems to have become increasingly mundane, pedestrian and unproductive. I don\u2019t envy these workers at all. According to Fleming, statistics reveal that the average British worker spends 36 days a year answering work emails and that workers in London receive close to 9,000 emails each year. He highlights a recent survey that revealed that 80% of employers consider it perfectly acceptable to contact their employees outside business hours. Someone close to me has experience of this. Her boss sent her emails in the early hours of the morning, cc\u2019ing them to a higher boss. We decided this was just the boss\u2019s way of saying \u201clook at me, how dedicated and hardworking I am<\/strong>,\u201d but while my friend initially laughed at the situation, she became increasingly stressed about it because the emails all meant more work for her \u2013 and this was all being dreamed up at 2 or 3 in the morning.<\/p>\n

Instead of pushing pieces of paper around, there is a section of the employed who simply write and respond to emails all day. I know of someone else who used to get emails from someone in the same office. Quite ridiculous. <\/p>\n

Add to all of this wasted time the long commute that many British workers face and you can see why so many people are bored and burned out. Apparently British workers waste 18 months of their lives commuting, which is expensive and stressful.<\/p>\n

The Top Distractions that affect workplace productivity<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Can<\/a>

Can you tell the difference?<\/p><\/div>1.\tShared offices<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to research from the USA, most people prefer to come into the office rather than work from home. The number one killer of workplace productivity in the USA however appears to be the shared office. Almost all of the survey respondents from this study – 89% in fact – said that they were most productive when working alone, but 69% of workers noted that workplace productivity fell thanks to their \u201cloud colleagues\u201d. Noise cancelling headphones are great but not when you have phones to answer. 40% were fed up with co-workers stopping by to chat, and 25% found that they spent \u201cmore time in meetings talking about work than actually doing it.\u201d <\/p>\n

2.\tEmail<\/strong><\/p>\n

Either you\u2019re on constant alert for new messages or you never manage to properly empty your inbox.<\/p>\n

3.\tTelephone<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t get anything done because the phone is constantly ringing. Worse still you may have to answer someone else\u2019s phone while they\u2019re away from their desk.<\/p>\n

4.\tOffice Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes you can\u2019t do much about this but certainly if you are too cold or too hot you will be uncomfortable. “Lighting in your workspace is actually a health and safety concern”, advocates the CEO at WP<\/a> \u2013 “too much glare can lead to headaches and tired eyes which will cause you to stop working, have rests too frequently, ultimately, affecting your workplace productivity.” <\/p>\n

5.\tYour own expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are working in a pressured occupation, the chances are that everyone else\u2019s behaviour will rub off on you. You may find yourself getting into work earlier and earlier, and leaving later and later. You may answer emails at home \u2013 even in the wee hours (see above and don\u2019t do it!). This is for you to reconsider. Your health is important and in spite of people being sat at their desk for 50+ hours per week you cannot really measure their productivity from their mere presence. Work smarter not harder, get your work done and have a life. If your organisation merits bums on seats over actual results and performance, you\u2019re in the wrong place.<\/p>\n

\"Don't<\/a>

Don’t do it!<\/p><\/div>6.\tYou!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe it\u2019s you. Maybe you\u2019re bored and you struggle to stay focused. If it is you then it\u2019s either time to get a new job or to work harder on your focus so that you can increase your work productivity. Next week we\u2019ll have a look at that.<\/p>\n

Over to you<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is there a lot of timewasting at work? How do you increase work productivity? Do you struggle to find focus at work? What\u2019s the answer?
