March Madness to Cost Businesses $1.2 Billion

March is almost upon us which means “March Madness” is nearly hear. The 19-day college basketball tournament is expected to cost US companies $1.2 billion of lost productivity.

The survey used to come up with the number also showed that 6% of the companies surveyed said that they’d be preventing employees from accessing websites and videos focusing on the event. The remaining companies either didn’t think it would have an impact or thought of it as a reward for their employees. My guess is most don’t think that their employees will be wasting as much time with “March Madness” as they really will be.

File that under offices take the foul line during March.

This Just In - Employers Restricting Computer Use

As if you didn’t know it already, many companies are cracking down on the personal use of company computers. The article goes into some detail on the reasons most employers give, such as security concerns and productivity issues.

The bottom of the article talks about a survey that says employees admit to using an average of 30 minutes of personal time during work hours. I think this is pretty low myself as it seems like people often spend much more time than that on non-work related tasks (of course I’m talking about other people, not myself).

I’ve worked at companies that use website blocking software and it’s incredibly frustrating as a software developer. I use Google a lot to look up various programming related materials and it’s annoying to find one and then be blocked by some stupid web proxy. Luckily my current company doesn’t do that… yay me.

File that under a free internet is a better internet.
