Book Cover & Preview Text
Preface We remember clearly how we felt when we first realized the effects of Time Theft on organizations. As we reminisce, a recognizable scene from a popular Hollywood movie comes to mind: the main character is offered a choice between two pills. One pill will open up his eyes to a world that he never knew existed. The second pill will provide the comfort of complacency and return him back to his normal day-to-day life with no recollection of this opportunity to know more. We can’t tell you how happy we are that we chose the pill that would open our eyes to the concept of Time Theft and its impact on organizations. The purpose of this book is simple: we will quantify the prevalence of Time Theft, show you how to identify it, and give you some strategies to contain it. This book is intended to be a reality check and to get you thinking about effects of Corporate Time Theft. We have written this book using the same principle that we have introduced in the book: “Opening the I’s”. Quite simply, you will be informed, invited, involved, and inspired to deal with the various aspects and impacts of Time Theft in your organization.

About the Book
Few people are watching or checking, and few businesses do anything about time theft in their organizations—even though everyone knows it is both wrong and ubiquitous. The truth is you may be losing hundreds of thousands—if not millions—of dollars because of time theft. The typical employee steals about two hours of time each day, which means you’re losing five hundred hours of work over fifty weeks. If an employee earns $20 per hour, that means he or she could be stealing $10,000 from you every year. Start hitting your projections, and keep your employees on task with this profit-building guidebook. You can learn how to reduce and even eliminate improper Internet usage, texting at work, and the transaction of personal business on company time. Time is money, and stealing it is no different than taking products or cash. Recognize the problem, and use simple and proven strategies to prevent and control Corporate Time Theft.
