The Hidden Costs of Workplace Disruptions

Implementing Hereworks Solve enhances productivity and creates a more positive work environment.
Facility management

In the hustle and bustle of our daily work lives, it’s easy to overlook the impact of minor disruptions. Imagine arriving at the office at 9 AM, ready to finalize your presentation for a 10 AM deadline, only to find that your desk docking station isn’t working. You spend 15 minutes finding another desk and setting up, but it takes another 15 minutes to regain your focus. That’s 30 minutes of effective disruption, or over 6% of your workday, all while your stress levels rise as the deadline looms.

These small disruptions add up. If we consider a 30-minute disruption every second day (or 15 minutes per day), that’s a 3% loss in productivity. For an employee costing the company €50 per hour, this translates to over €3,000 per annum per employee.

Wasted Time Per 100 Employees:

· 40 hours x 48 weeks = 1,920 hours

· Save 3% = 58 hours

· For 100 employees = 5,800 hours per year

At €50 per hour = €290,000

At €100 per hour = €580,000

Now, let’s consider the potential savings with Hereworks Solve:

Assuming an average employee hourly rate of €50 and a very modest 1% increase in productivity, for a floor holding 220 people, this equates to €211,000 in annual savings!
