Sneaky fag breaks crippling big biz!

Ok, it’s not really that simple but little things compounded add up to big losses, according to a report just published. The current trend towards banning ersonal internet use in the workplace could be costing British businesses up to 4 billion every year. Apparently, the bans lead to a decline in staff productivity.

The eport by PopCap Games, proves that, far from distracting employees from their work, taking a 10-minute online break during the course of the working day erves to reduce stress while sharpening and refocusing the mind.

Around 7 in 10 companies have banned access to social networking sites with more considering banning personal internet access altogether (now I am worried!) But companies would do well to note that banning e-breaks could actually hurt and morale.

If only! It seems that popular social sites, news, dating, gaming and shopping sites has resulted in 57% of workers shunning the traditional tea-break in favour of an office e-break in a bid to unwind during the 9-5. Unfortunately, many companies don’t accept employees personal use of the internet during working hours - but the 5 minutes to have a tea break is fine! Hmm. No comment.

All I can say to big business is “It’s your loss” - literally.
