This question is about wasting time at work statistics.
How much time at work is actually spent working?
Less than 60% of the time at work is actually spent working. Depending on the employee, though, much of this other 40% of the time is often still spent on work-related tasks that aren't furthering their productivity.
Work emails, for example, take up about three and a half hours of the average employee's workday, and many of these are either spam or so poorly written that it takes more effort to decipher them than it should.
Meetings also eat up a significant amount of time (about 21.5 hours a week), many of which are unnecessary as well. In addition, workplace distractions play a big role in decreasing productivity, as the average employee is interrupted 56 times a day while they're at work.
That's not to say that all time not spent working is due to work-related distractions, though, as 47% of employees say they surf the internet at work, 45% say they check social media, and 44% say they text with their personal phones while at work.
