The impact of pornography addiction on businesses productivity is staggering. It is estimated that US corporations lose $16.9 billion in worker productivity each year due to employees engaged in watching internet pornography. In 2009, a study published by Michael Leahy reported that two out of three human resource department representatives reported finding pornography on their employees computers. Current research estimates that 28,258 people are watching pornography every second and $3075.64 are spent every second on pornography. Women make up one third of all Internet porn addicts.
Managing an effective workforce can be challenging when work priorities compete and in employee’s brain with pornography. The danger in not addressing such problems is that it can escalate and the person who was once an avid porn user transitions to an addict as his or her behavior then escalates from porn addiction to sexually inappropriate or sexually harassing behavior in the workplace.
