Do you shop online while at work? A new Workplace Snapshot from Spherion found that one-third of workers shop online for gifts while at work. The study found that 59 percent of women spend more than 15 minutes shopping online at work compared to 52 percent of men who spend less than 15 minutes. And many workers don’t feel it is a big deal. Thirty-two (32) percent of respondents said it is acceptable to shop from work computers.
