Wasting Time at Work 2012

Our Survey Shows How Much Time Employees Waste at Work & How They Do It

How Much Time is Too Much?

With almost two-thirds of all respondents reporting they waste time at work on the computer each day, the next obvious question is how much time?

Thirty-nine percent of the people who took our survey said they spend a mere 1 hour a week or less on non-work related items. That’s followed by 29 percent who spend up to 2 hours a week wasting time on the computer at work, and 21 percent who waste up to 5 hours a week. Only 3 percent of respondents spend  10 hours or more on personal tasks while at work in a given week.
