Downtime at Work

Andrew Brodsky is an assistant professor in the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas at Austin. Andrew is looking for new organizations that are interested in having a research study conducted with them, and he says that you are welcome to reach out to him directly. When employees have too much time on their hands, and not enough work, productivity suffers. A recent study shows that companies in the U.S. are spending over 100 billion dollars in wages for the time their employees are waiting for more work. Andrew Brodsky is a co-author of this study and shares his findings.
