What’s the best way you could waste time at work? How about dealing with computer problems or printer paper jams?

According the the Dick Smith Productivity study, the average office worker spends more than two working weeks a year dealing with technical issues and it’s mostly thanks to old technology.

The study revealed that over 2/3 of Australian workplaces still used a fax machine and just over 52 percent of employees claim that their boss is too stingy to invest in new equipment…even if it means improving productivity.

If you run a small business there are some good tax incentives for buying new equipment up to $6500, check with the ATO or your tax professional.
