Half work here
A LUTON company’s survey has proved the answer to the old joke “how many people work here?” The answer is of course, half.
Outsource specialists eFinancial Management (eFM), based in Maxet House, Liverpool Road, conducted its Efficiency Of Employment Survey 2011 and found that employees in finance roles are spending only 55 per cent of time on the job they are paid for.
The survey found 54 per cent of those in financial management roles spend at least half an hour the internet not connected to their job.
Some 83 per cent of financial management specialists including finance managers and finance directors spend up to one hour on administrative duties including planning diaries, booking travel, making drinks and other such activities. More time is spent on banter, non-core communications, emails and letters.
eFM says a combination of multi-tasking and red tape means many business owners now question the efficiency of employment. They say ‘alternative routes’ such as outsourcing can allow people to complete key tasks without having to spend time on non-core tasks.
