报告的最大时间流失是由于搜索工具不佳而在服务器上搜索服务器（每天23分钟）。其他常规时间浪费器包括使用打印机：每天花7分钟等待它热身，还有近十分钟的时间等待页面出来。
夏普（Sharp）对英国1,000多名办公室工作人员进行的调查发现，每天每位员工每天浪费了近40分钟，相当于每年167小时或四个星期的死时间，每位员工每年损失超过2,100英镑。
英国近80％的受访者表示，他们的工作场所在技术方面已经过时了。If their office didn’t have such slow technology, nearly two thirds of workers (64 per cent) reveal that they would be more productive, and nearly one in five (19 per cent) say they would stop looking for another job, suggesting a big opportunity for businesses to improve both output and staff retention.
Stuart Sykes, managing director of Sharp UK says, ‘Technology is supposed to make our lives easier and help us to work faster, however, in the real world, out-of-date technology and technology that is hard to use often slows people down, forcing them to waste time.
‘这段时间可能意味着失去机会，损失利润甚至失去了员工。企业必须唤醒与员工不断变化的需求同步的连接技术的重要性，并允许他们从团队中获得最大的收益，并为更具动力，更有生产力的工作场所提供最大的收益。”
