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.
