Anyone doing workplace research will be interested in a study done by Roh, Hasan, Esomonu, Hendricks, Benden, and Aggarwal, published in PLoS ONE. The team learned that “employees really are less active and more prone to mistakes on afternoons and Fridays, with Friday afternoon representing the lowest point of worker productivity. . . . The researchers looked at the computer usage metrics of 789 in-office employees at a large energy company in Texas over a two-year [pre-pandemic] period.”
