DAILY UPDATE: Workplace Productivity Down

The US is experiencing the biggest decline in worker productivity since 1948, according to research from EY-Parthenon, and many executives have been quick to single out remote work as the main culprit.

This is what they cite to prove their point.:

  • A study published in Nature Human Behaviour found that working remotely made Microsoft’s remote workers miss important learning opportunities by not rubbing elbows with coworkers who aren’t part of their immediate team.
  • More recent research showed that interacting through a screen can make workers less likely to generate ideas. That’s a problem for tech companies needing to out-innovate the competition.

For many industry leaders, accessing a wider talent pool outside of traditional tech hubs isn’t enough to make up for those drawbacks. And as widespread labor shortages subside and layoffs sweep through Silicon Valley, companies are no longer in a perk war to recruit and retain the brightest minds.

Finally, the Big Tech office pushed mirrors broader thru white-collar labor market dynamics; according to Morning Brew. In December, 13% of LinkedIn postings were for remote jobs, compared to 20% nine months prior.

WORKPLACE SAFETY: 10 Rules and Guidelines

WORKPLACE MEDICAL VIOLENCE

Workplace safety is no joke. Slips and trips can lead to a hospital visit—though at least it’s a quick commute for healthcare workers in states with high rates of workplace injuries. In fact, Maine, Oregon, and Vermont had the highest rates of nonfatal workplace accidents and injuries, according to an analysis shared with Healthcare Brew via email of 2021 US Bureau of Labor Statistics data compiled by High Rise Financial, a pre-settlement legal funding company.

What do these states also have in common? According to HealthcareBrew, nursing, ranked within the top 10 most popular professions in each state.

Maine had the highest rate of workplace accidents: 4.7 out of every 100 full-time workers in the state were involved in a nonfatal workplace accident in 2021, High Rise Financial found. That is 67.9% higher than the country’s yearly average. In 2021, 30,270 of the 592,000 registered employees in Maine were home healthcare workers or registered nurses. MaineHealth was the state’s largest private employer in 2021 with approximately 20,500 employees, per the Maine Center for Workforce Research and Information. But the state’s high accident rate isn’t a failure—it suggests that Maine workers are reporting accidents and injuries before they become more serious and require workers’ compensation, Maine Public Radio reported. The most recent data from 2011 shows that workers’ compensation losses cost hospitals nationwide $2 billion, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration found.

If tedious workplace safety rules sound like a pain, try having an accident. “Slips, trips, and falls,” especially without a wet floor warning sign, are the top causes of workplace accidents that are eligible for pre-settlement funding, according to the High Rise Financial analysis. Even a small slip could lead to a back injury, a broken bone, or a concussion—no banana peel needed.

It’s not all doom and gloom: The CDC has generously curated a list of songs with workplace safety and health themes to liven up your nine-to-five. Just be sure to wear nonslip shoes if you feel like dancing.
