Today’s forecast: The perfect storm of employee distractions.
Let’s run down the list of what’s got employees’ attention at this very moment (in no particular order):
March Madness (perhaps you’ve heard from this week’s Special Report that it’s a $4 billion productivity drain)
The 2016 Presidential Election (and the 24/7 media coverage of Trumpisms)
Social media (i.e., Facebook and Twitter, mostly)
NFL free agency (perhaps you’ve heard that Brock Osweiler spurned the Super Bowl champs for $72M and the Houston Texans), and
The rise of Spring (and the need to wrangle up a foursome and hit the links).
