Does this look familiar? Time is Money Every week, knowledge workers waste nearly 3.7 hours searching but not finding information and 2.5 hours recreating content that can’t be found. 6.2 hours lost per week equates to $10,011 per worker per year – which amounts to nearly $10 million total for every 1,000 employees. The IDC reports that the return on investment for improved access to information ranges from 38% to 600%. Note: Cost per worker per year is based on an annual salary of $75,000, including benefits.
