Who Do You Have Winning It All?

Its coming up on March Madness time.  For all you college basketball fans, the most exciting time of the year is right around the corner.  To make it even more exciting, what do you do?  Start up the company office pool!  A little gambling should help spice it up just enough to make it interesting to even the uninterested. 

In the article from the Business Journal is a survey relating to productivity and March Madness.  An interesting stat that I couldn't believe was, "Very few employers offer guidance in their policies regarding office pools, even though it may mean taking a hit in terms of productivity, Spherion officials said." 

Maybe its time to update the employee handbook and put some guidelines or rules in on office pools, or maybe its just time to enjoy March Madness!

   I think it’s ridiculous to make harmless office pools illegal. They should change the law once and for all.

   As a side note, if you’re looking for a less time consuming office pool format (and attempting to no completely lose productivity as the article presumes) we play this format. It’s simple, easy and free.
