Okay, believe it or not, a new study by the University of Melbourne’s Department of Management and Marketing found that surfing the Internet for fun in the office increases productivity by nine percent. Dr. Brent Coker, who authored the study, suggested that “People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration.”
So, if you’ve been spending a lot of time and energy trying to block your employees from using social networking sites during working hours, you might want to reconsider. Goofing off is good for business!
