Will pets at work place cause lack of productivity?
It is a great idea to hang around with your pet and play with this sweetest member of the family who will never grow up, no matter how much it grows. A pet in the family is no less important than a child. Despite the fact that staying with our furry friend is the best way to pass out time, we cannot be with them always, especially in our office. It is tough to leave them at home and stay outside for more than 8 hours. Lack of productivity is the main excuse which keeps our furry sweetheart away from offices.

How much of productive work do you give in a day?
I remember reading once that the only a fraction of the work we do is counted as a productive work. A lion share of the work done everyday is not counted as a productive work. I found the articles making me a fool as I work like a hog the whole day to earn my bread and if someone says that most of the work is not productive then I have a jolly good reason to fret. But later on I ponder over the matter since I have never tried to measure my productive work in a typical day. If anyone ever sits to calculate our productive work in a day we will not be rejecting the article report right away.

There is no doubt that collaboration can improve the level of productivity at large by making a better business execution.
