Workers spend an hour per day on internet

Employees spend one hour every day surfing on the internet while at work, it has been revealed.

The study, conducted by Quidco, has found that workers waste an hour by shopping or looking for holidays at their desks, the Daily Star reported.

It was found that other distractions include emails, checking the weather forecast, reading news sites or updating Facebook.

Andy Oldham, Managing Director of the company, told the publication that with good internet access on mobile phones, surfing the internet is no longer reserved only for those who work in front of a computer.
