Fantasy football erodes productivity but boosts morale in the workplace, research finds.
Like a hit TV show or a big sporting event, research finds that fantasy football erodes productivity but boosts morale in the workplace. Despite the time people waste being distracted by their fantasy football leagues, experts say the camaraderie boost might not be such a bad trade-off for companies scrambling to find and keep workers in a historically tight labor market.
“It might cost employers a little bit in lost productivity, but we think it makes for up it in spades in terms of building up the culture in an organization,” Challenger said. “This is one of those distractions where you get a lot of culture building benefits from it. It helps transform jobs that have become more and more transactional into communities.”
The value of that engagement shouldn’t be underestimated, because there are indications that a significant number of workers have mentally checked out from their jobs. In May, the World Health Organization recognized on-the-job burnout as “an occupational phenomenon” caused by “chronic workplace stress.” The agency said burnout is characterized by exhaustion, feelings of negativity or cynicism and a drop in working effectively.
“It’s the tightest labor market we’ve seen in about 50 years and companies are fighting to retain and attract employees,” Challenger said.
