How to Survive March Madness
Does March Madness affect work productivity? Unfortunately the answer is a huge yes.
With the explosion of social media, internet forums and live streaming, it may seem like everyone in the office is setting up their brackets and following the tournament. March Madness is huge because it’s fun, it brings people together, it’s a friendly competition, but from an employer’s point of view it clouds focus and reduces productivity. According to a recent study, about 2.5 million people spend an hour and a half each workday following the tournament. And attendance on Thursdays and Fridays during March tend to fall below average. All of that time adds up!
Each business has a different set of rules on how to manage company time, but if you’re looking for a boost in productivity we may have a long term solution for you. At Service Uniform, we specialize in helping businesses look their best, and businesses with a uniform rental program have shown signs of increased productivity.
A new look is powerful because it not only gives your company the professional, sharp image it deserves, but also boosts morale among employees. When employees feel like they are a part of a winning team, they will naturally work harder to help everyone succeed. So even though we can’t help you manage employee time (or give any advice on which team to pick for your bracket!) we can give you some assistance to boost your business’s productivity.
