I am working on a staffing model for my company and I have seen in the past a standard "Inefficiency Calculation" which reduces the total available time an estimated 15%. The inefficiency calculation represents miscellaneous time not spent on working (e.g., private phone calls, emailing friends, surfing net, etc.). This 15% I believe works with with Back-Office Branch staffing models but when you go into professional organizations and into finance and accounting areas, I would think this calculation would be almost zero due to the type of work.
What is best practice for using an Inefficiency Calculation in this type of environment? Any input would be a great help! |

I think you're way off in thinking the 15% inefficiency doesn't apply to professional organizations and finance. All these people have access to the internet, have families, have bad days just like everyone else. |

Agreed. AT LEAST 15% of perm staffing is wasted...either personal phone calls, Facebook, email, unnecessary meetings or smoke breaks.
I just read a research paper done by the Strategic Air Command that said that 41 minutes per day on average is wasted in smoke breaks by smokers. My solution? set policy that allows the use of electronic cigarettes at the office. This will save time and improve employee health. Regards, James |
