In a recent corporate study they revealed that cell phone technology has decreased worker productivity up to 40% in the workplace.

Knowing this, would you institute a workplace SOP for personal use?

In the same study, employees were checking their personal email up to 60x a day...nothing was revealed about Social Media usage.

As a leader, what changes would you implement to regain some of that 40% productivity loss?

For you AD guys, Is cell phone use/abuse a big problem?

I constantly walk through my workplace & see people on their phones. Heck, just walk downtown & you notice about 60% of the people aren't even watching where they are going, they're too busy staring down at their phone!!!

It definitely takes away from the productivity as they check social media. We are constantly getting emails about staying off personal devices & not to plug personal devices into work computers.

I think there must be some corporative rules on this point. I think I would add some internet limits for example. There are a lot of interesting edtech startups as https://techround.co.uk/startups/top-7-education-technology-startups-in-2022/ that may help to fix the time management of employees. Unfortunately, you can't fix it 100% because of a human factor. You also must analyze how it affects the company as a whole. There are a lot of remote companies with no control and they have a great results.

Yet another example of defense dollars being poured down the drain:
