Ethics
Ethics are the moral
principles that
govern a person’s or
group’s behavior.
Morals
Morals are the principles
of behavior that is
considered right or
wrong in a society.
Roughly 89% of employees admit to
wasting time at work.
Do you consider this ethical
behavior?
Unproductivity in the Workplace
CELL PHONE / TEXT
Cell phones and
texting are one of
the main bad habits
getting in the way of
the workplace.
INTERNET / SOCIAL MEDIA
Employees spend
1+ hours a day on
non-work related
websites.
BREAK TIME
Employees
overextend their
allotted break time
by gossiping,
smoking, snacking
and dropping into
coworkers’ office.
50% of Employees admit to sending personal calls and texts while on the clock
38% of Employees spend time on social media
23% of Employees send personal emails
DID YOU KNOW?
Employers lose anywhere between
$4,000 - $6,000 on a SINGLE
unproductive employee
Overall, low productivity can cost a
company over $140 MILLION yearly.
Are you cheating your Employers?
YES.
- Employers are paying for unproductive employees
- Company Resources are being wasted
- Not providing skills originally advertised (during
interview)
Did you consider this cheating?
Some employees don’t even
realize that their behaviors are
unethical.
Other employees try to justify
their behaviors.
How Employees Justify
- Pretending their behavior is accepted at the workplace
- Saying their behavior won’t negatively affect the company
- Assuming they won’t get caught
- Seeing other co-workers exhibit similar behaviors
Why might low productivity occur
in the workplace?
1. Stress
The state of mental or
emotional strain resulting
from demanding
circumstances where the
individual has something at
stake and does not have the
ability to cope with the
demands
Stress costs U.S. businesses
roughly $300 million a year in
the form of increased
absenteeism, turnover, and
productivity losses.
DID YOU KNOW?
2. Organizational Commitment →
Withdrawal Behaviors
In other words….
Presenteeism
- Reduced Productivity
- Unnecessary conversation
- Daydreaming
- “Sick days”
- Tardiness
- Excessive breaks
Absenteeism
- 63% of employees worldwide are "not engaged" → Neglect / Presenteeism
- 24% are "actively disengaged," → Exit / Absenteeism
DID YOU KNOW?
** That’s roughly 900 million not engaged
and 340 million actively disengaged
employees around the globe.
What can employers do to
increase productivity in the
workplace?
- Limit internet access
- Monitor internet use
Use Technology Responsibly
- Review objectives to stay on track
- Set realistic expectations
- Limit unnecessary meetings
- Reinforce professional and company ethics
Set Clear Goals
- Address issues immediately
- Acknowledge accomplishments
- Don’t compare to others
Provide Feedback
What can YOU, the employee, do
to increase productivity in the
workplace?
- De-clutter your workspace
- Prioritize your projects to make sure you get them done in
time
- Set goals for what you want to accomplish each day
Organize Yourself
Limit Interruptions
Find an area in your workplace
that you can escape to when you
feel overwhelmed with work to
avoid being distracted by
coworkers.
Keep Personal Matters At Home
Don’t call your friends or
take advantage of that
online clothing sale while
at work. Take time during
your lunch hour or after
office hours to handle all
things personal.
Save time by calling them or walking up to their
desk and talking through things in person.
Improve Your Communication Skills
Don’t spend your entire work
day drafting emails to your
coworkers.
Low productivity is a form of cheating.
You are cheating the employer and
ultimately cheating yourself.
In conclusion….
