55+ Worker No. 10: Never be on Time!

Have you ever considered never being on time when it comes to your daily start time for work? Experts say that it is a good idea to arrive 15 minutes early to allow for walk in time, time for stowing your personal items, time for last minute personal needs, and for clocking in on time. If you conducted all of these activities after your scheduled clock in time this could add up to big losses for your employer. Just think if every employee took 15 minutes to actually start their job each day: this could amount to 25 hours of unproductive time per month for each employee! Considering actual wages, loss in customer service, and productivity over a period of a year, we are looking at considerable losses in income and customer satisfaction associated with this poor work habit. Want to be competitive in a time of high unemployment? Consider never being on time to work, but 15 minutes early.
