EMPLOYEES in Singapore spend nearly one-tenth of their work hours on non- work-related online activities, a Robert Half survey has shown. But this is not as big a problem as it sounds, says the recruitment firm.

Such non-work or personal activities were found to be mainly shopping at e-commerce sites, surfing travel sites, and connecting with friends and loved ones via social media.
