Is a “low productivity climate” affecting your efficiency? Most workers say returning to the office makes us much less productive

• Logitech report finds noise is the biggest contributor to lost productivity for office workers
• Poor air quality also slows them down
• More than 70% of workers admit to being distracted at the office: what to do?

Workers are already speaking out against returning to the office, citing reduced productivity and loss of flexibility. A new study from Logitech confirms: office distractions cost British businesses more than 330 million hours per year.

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a quarter losing at least an hour per week due to poor “productivity climate,” such as noise, lighting, air quality or outdated technology.
