I am a procrastinator. Always have been and in spite of my best efforts, will likely be one to some degree in the future. But, as New Years Day begins to draw closer, I seriously think about those resolutions and changing my habits. When I procrastinate, it usually means I end up working some extra hours on the other end of the day, an inconvenience to be sure.

However, what happens when your employees start their shift "just 5 minutes" late? There is a real cost attached to that. And you are paying it directly from your projected profits. Or if you manage an in-house operation, this comes right from that already stretched labor budget.

What DOES it cost you when 5 minutes are wasted here or there? In this Tripodcast, Dick Ollek not only helps you understand the real cost, but also offers some tips for getting things back in control.

As New Years Day approaches, maybe we ALL should make a resolution to get those 5 minutes back.
