FIFA World Cup: US Workplaces Lose Up To $11.7 Billion In Productivity
New York New Jersey Stadium: The FIFA World Cup disrupted US workplaces and may have shaved as much as $11.7 billion off the country's productivity as millions of workers adjusted their schedules to watch matches, according to a report.
NDTV Profit reported -- citing UKG -- that the tournament’s global impact was nearly $17 billion, due to higher absenteeism, late arrivals and early departures during the competition.
In addition, the data from workplace platform Envoy showed highest work disruption coming the day after the United States men’s team was eliminated from the tournament. Office attendance dropped 26 per cent on July 7, while employee entries dropped 11.5 per cent.
