Its that time of year again, employees are hunkering down in the cubicles, making their picks for the NCAA tournament. You as the employer and internet provider are footing the bill for this office tradition. Now, it is good for employee moral and company excitement to hold an office pool, however that does not mean your organization needs to lose bandwidth to game streaming over the latter half of March and into April. Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc., a global outplacement firm, says employers will experience an inevitable drop in productivity that coincides with March Madness, which begins this week and concludes next month. The firm estimates in its “March Madness Report” that the NCAA Men’s Division 1 Men’s Basketball Championship tournament will cost American companies at least $1.9 Billion in lost wages and unproductive workers. You can provide employees freedom and protect your bandwidth with a good plan and content filtering.
