The biggest workplace distraction revealed

Distractions in the workplace are often unavoidable; and until the world evolves and allows every employee to exercise some flexible or remote working, we just have to put up with them.

A recent survey has found the biggest workplace distraction, is social messaging app WhatsApp.

Fleximize, a business lender, found that the app is the main reason employees procrastinate in the office – with 72% of workers chatting with their friends at their desks when they should be working.

After interviewing a range of employees, from juniors to CEOs, the study also found that one in five workers admitted to procrastinating for over two hours a day – some even confessed the reality was closer to six hours.
