Average Office Workers Admit To Wasting 3 Hours Per 8-Hour Workday

US-based safety training video supplier Compliance and Safety created an infographic that looks at the ‘laziness’ in the workplace, and reveals how much time is wasted per day in the office.



Entitled ‘Workplace Productivity Infographic: Hardly Working’, the infographic states that the average worker admits to frittering away 3 hours per 8-hour workday—sans lunch time and scheduled breaks.

Sometimes, when presumably working, workers also use the internet for personal purposes, online purchases, watching YouTube.



It also claims that older workers waste less time.

Is this true?
