It’s that magical time of the year for basketball fans. That’s right it’s time once again for March Madness! During the coming weeks offices and workplaces around the country will be abuzz with the latest news and information about the big tournament and high hopes will be set for alma maters participating in the Big Dance. All this excitement brings with it office pools and wagers placed by workers who try to predict how the 64 team tournament will pan out. Not surprisingly all this extra-curricular office activity will have an impact on productivity: a 3.5 billion dollar loss in American productivity by some estimates.
