In the era of the Great Recession, when walking into your office might mean facing rows of empty cubicles and desks weighted with work meant for three employees, it's no surprise folks aren't happy on the job.
Count workplace productivity as yet another casualty of the recession, at least in the view of workers at companies that have cut staff.According to a new survey from work-force management company Kronos Inc. and Harris Interactive, 40 percent of U.S. workers whose companies have had layoffs said productivity within their organizations has been negatively impacted during the past year.
The Productivity Drain survey was conducted over the phone by Harris Interactive on behalf of the Workforce Institute at Kronos Aug. 13-16. A sample of 2,005 U.S. adults responded.
Thirty-eight percent of respondents said layoffs had occurred at their companies over the past year, according to the survey.
