Research by a management consultancy has found that council staff waste two-thirds of their day as a result of poor supervision by managers who only spent three percent of their time checking what their workers were doing.
The researchers found that managers were busy carrying out ‘administrative tasks, while outside their office their staff were clearly under-utilised’.
I suppose that this comes as no surprise to any of us really. But what is surprising is that the same research found that staff in the private sector only spent 44% of their time productively.
All I can say is that things were different in my day!
