How Inefficient are your Employees?
The title may be harsh, but it is something you have to consider in any business. Making a loss due to inefficient employees can affect your bottom line.Consider this scenario:
Let’s say the average salary for employees in your company is AED45,000 per year.
Assuming paid holidays of 4 weeks per year, that leaves 48 work weeks per year.
At 40 hours per week, that adds up to 1,920 work hours per year.
The average hourly pay for employees would then equal AED23 per hour.
Studies show that the average worker wastes over 30 minutes per day looking for something in or around the desk and/or in their files.
That’s 123 hours per year wasted, or in monetary terms AED2,829 per year per employeespent on looking for “stuff”.
How many employees do you have:
10? That’s AED28,290 ($7,700) per year wasted.
75? That’s AED212,175 ($58,000) per year wasted.
Wouldn’t you rather have a more efficient and productive work force and create a bigger profit each year?Consider another scenario:
Let’s say you asked your secretary to find an invoice from 2012. She is on a salary of AED20,000. She spends:
30 minutes looking for the document on her system,
45 minutes instructing the office boy to look for the document in the filing room and chasing him, and finally
5 minutes apologising to you for taking so long to find the document.
That is AED 104 wasted.
The office boy, on a salary of AED6,000, spends 45 minutes looking for the file. That is AED 19 wasted.
Finally, you on a salary of AED 50,000, looked for the document for 10 minutes, instructed your secretary to find it, and then chased her later – wasting a total 20 minutes. You wasted AED 150 for 20 minutes to find 1 invoice
In total 3 employees spent AED 273 to look for one invoice and it took 1 hour and 20 minutes in total to find it. (Not taking into consideration reviewing the invoice once found).
