does time spent in traffic reduce productivity?

[Anna52]

If you have every stayed in Lagos Nigeria you will know that traffic cannot only make you unproductive but actually make you frustrated lolz. Please I can't stand traffic.

 

[Setho]

Being in a motor traffic is really a harsh condition to live in . it is so frustrating and tiring and you won't expect one who constantly experience that to work at the too level.

Employees that reside in the urban areas will have a lot to say about their ordeal on daily basis navigating to their place of work.
Driving long distances can mean employees will arrive feeling tired and will already need a break when they arrive before starting their work. This then will impact their ability to get work done in the morning, arguably the most productive period of the day for most, thus making them less productive for the whole day.

is it a good idea to seek alternative means of transporting employees to work daily?

Time in traffic sometimes reduce productivity in the sense that ,for example of you are working in a pure water factory, You are to start by 8am and finishes by 2pm, and normally you produce 50bags during that hour but due to the traffic, You got to work around 9.30am it will reduce the 50bags you are suppose to produce for that day.

An urban area where employees travel less time to get to work is likely to be more productive than one where travel times are longer, all things being equal. Productivity is a principal aim of economic policy. Productivity means greater economic growth, greater job creation and less poverty.

If a company is able to provide alternative mean of transporting their staff to work without the hazel of getting studied inside hold up, then it's a very good idea. One thing I know is that every employee irrespective of their distance to their place of work will usually sort themselves out and get I've the challenge with time.

Yes it drastically does, and this is a very important factor to consider in the siting of companies and offices.

The the city I live in, most of the workers come from the suburbs to work in the city center, due to a number of reasons, traffic gridlocks being the major reason, they come late to work and leave at close of work, before they will get to their destination, it already late, at work the next day, you find them napping in between work hours.

How will this not affect productivity?

 

[Razor1911]

As per your thoughts, it is surely advised to reside near your working place. Though it might not necessarily effect the productivity, but it will surely eat up your valuable time and you can save that time if you live near your work place.

 

[Good-Person]

It might not affect business owners because they have a fixed time when it comes to making employees reach office on time. If employee fails to do that, then this is employees problem and business owners may deduct bonus and allowance. This happened to me where I used to work in the past.

 

[Sotherefore]

Yes it can reduce productivity because if you are supposed to reach the office and start the Business by 8:00 but because of huge traffic on the road system it might be taking more hours before you reach your destination and sometimes you can miss potential people to do business with.

[IamDozzy]

Yes of course it ultimately does, if a production process that is suppose to result in a specific number of product per day is delayed because the personnel in charge is caught in traffic, ultimately that amount to be produced per day would reduce as a result of delay .

 

[Sotherefore]

Not getting to your business location on time can reduce the productivity of your business , some customers and clients might believe that you are not serious and that is the reason you are coming late, it will definitely reduce the productivity

 

[Kelly5]

Most definitely. Time spent in traffic will reduce productivity to a very great and far extent. Nobody will be there to attend to clients that ordinarily would have made you sales for that hour and times

 

[Good-Person]

If an employee spends a lot of time getting stuck in traffic jams, then it will be a loss for the company and this is why many bossess would not tolerate if an employee regularly comes late to the office. In some cases, productivity is not at all affected, but still employers have a problems with an employee coming late.

 

[eLdavis]

Time spent in traffic can reduce productivity in various ways. In most cases, they usually end up getting tired and worn out from the time spent on the way. Hence they may not be as effective while doing their works. There would also be a reduction of time, time that would have been needed to achieve certain things.

 

[Mernuel]

Traffic does not only disrupt the rate of productivity, but also consumes time, and as we may say time is money

 

[Salimo]

Yes I think that lower productivity so people who suffer from this problem should think seriousely of rent a room beside the place of their job .

 

[Heatman]

Seriously, there are so many people who are actually currently suffering today as a result of traffic congestion when they are going to work. I personally experienced it and it was hell on earth.

 

[babdud02]

This is the main reason why most developed countries with high population are creating another means of transportation apart from traveling on road because traffic is now affecting part of their economy
