IT Employees Waste More Than 50 Minutes A Day: Why And How? - Details

Amid this COVID-19 pandemic and crisis, most of the IT company employees waste an average of 53 minutes a day due to outdated and inefficient technology. This survey is marginally lower when compared to the 57-minute average across all the countries. 

This report is based according to the Salesforce APAC Employee Engagement. In the report, they further state that, 85 percent of employees feel unhappy and unmotivated when struggling with outdated and inefficient technology, while 82 percent admit that this affects the quality of their work. 

The survey was conducted by YouGov Galaxy, where the company surveyed over 1,000 IT leaders and workers across India, Australia and Singapore. 

According to Economic Times report, about 92 percent of the employees said that their expectations of workplace technology had increased because of the kind of technology they used as a consumer and that their expectations of workplace apps were shaped by the consumer apps they use.

As per the survey, nearly half the office employees stated that their workplace technology did not fully support remote working. Looking into Indian companies, six out of 10 employees said that there were times when they were not happy or motivated at work, which made an impact on employee retention and business reputation. 

Meanwhile, sixty-nine percent of engaged office workers are more likely to recommend their company to a friend looking for a job, compared to just nine percent of disengaged office workers.

Even, IT leaders and office employees also differed in their opinions about workplace technology. More than half the workers said that workplace apps helped them do their jobs effectively and efficiently but their workplace experience could be enhanced with new or improved apps.
