In addition to an employee searching for “cute kittens” on Google and another flying drones in the office, one employee searched for a mail order bride, another consumed vodka while tuning into Netflix and another dozed off on the CEO’s couch. These findings come from a national CareerBuilder survey that polled a representative sample of 2,175 hiring and human resources managers in different industries and companies.
Employees can take advantage of one productivity culprit--social media--to help keep them on point at work, says Rosemary Haefner, former chief human resources officer at CareerBuilder. “Can’t seem to motivate yourself to finish or start a big project? Post on your Facebook wall that you will do it,” Haefner said.“Making yourself publicly accountable will make you more likely to actually do something.”
