Because of you, Hometown Foods is able to give back to our community through donations to our schools and other local organizations.” IS THE 8-HOUR WORKDAY PRODUCTIVE? The 8-hour workday was created during the Industrial Revolution to reduce the number of hours of manual labor that workers were forced to endure on the factory floor. In today’s offices, however, the 8-hour workday presents challenges. According to the American Society of Employers, research by Ohio University suggests the average office worker is only productive for 2 hours and 53 minutes each 8-hour workday. The following activities account for some of the remaining time: • Reading news websites – 65 minutes • Social media– 44 minutes • Discussing topics not related to work– 40 minutes • Searching for new jobs–26 minutes Another factor contributing to reduced productivity is the number of interruptions. The average office worker is interrupted every three minutes, and it takes most people about 22 minutes to return to a task after being interrupted. Ideally, the brain needs a 15-minute break for every one hour of highly focused work. So to be most productive, we should take regular breaks away from computers and phones. Breaks spent walking or chatting are most effective for “recharging batteries” and preparing for another hour of work.
