Every entrepreneur desires to have most skilled, diligent, well-mannered and reliable professionals. This is probably because the employees are the strength of an organization having the power to make or break it. While the motivated, creative and problem-solving employees support employer to flourish the business, the lazy, fickle and unproductive workforce can cause huge loss to the company.
Mostly it is a poor recruitment process that let the losers enter into the organization but sometimes the blame of turning a skillful person into unproductive creature goes to the technology. While the technological advancement has changed the human lifestyle, it has also changed the environment of workplaces. It is hard to imagine an office without computers, the internet, air conditioners and supportive technologies. While all these pieces of machinery have become necessities to work, these are the hindrances as well. So, the chances of employer bearing huge monetary loss or, in worst cases, losing his business are more because of the facilities provided to the employees than just the lack of efforts.
We have rounded up here a few basic facilities provided by the employer to its workforce that reversely cause his own failure.
Internet – The main distraction that kills productivity
While the internet is a compulsion for online businesses, software houses, and many other businesses, it is full of distraction. Smartphones, social media, and emails are among the major workplace productivity killers. While the employer provides its employee with the internet for work-related tasks, the mischievous guys use the service for updating their Facebook profiles, playing games, and watching YouTube videos. Resultantly, they fail to accomplish their tasks at the time and make the employer bear the loss.
