Is a ‘poor productivity climate’ killing your efficiency? Most workers say returning to the office is making us a lot less productive

• Logitech report finds noise is the biggest productivity killer for in-office workers
• Poor air quality is also slowing them down
• Over 70% of workers admit to being distracted in the office – so what’s to be done

Workers are already speaking up against returning to the office, citing reduced in-office productivity and the loss of flexibility, and new research from Logitech backs that up – office distractions are said to be costing UK businesses more than 330 million hours per year.

Nearly three in four (71%) participants agreed office distractions reduce productivity, with a quarter of them losing at least an hour a week due to poor “productivity climate,” such as noise, lighting, air quality, or outdated tech.
