British businesses are wasting more than £13 billion a year in lost productivity as middle managers spend weeks dealing with avoidable, low-value work, according to new research by YouGov. The findings - published in the fifth annual Feedback from the Field report by workplace operations platform SafetyCulture - reveal that middle managers lose an average of 7.3 weeks a year to unnecessary or repetitive tasks, including unproductive meetings, email overload, and correcting others' mistakes. The cost of that inefficiency is staggering: when managers' wages are combined with the scale of the UK's frontline workforce, the total wasted time amounts to £13.2 billion annually, the report estimates.

And the urgency to get it right has never been greater. Without the right change management, investing in new technology is not going to give you the results you seek. Leaders need to think deeply about how work gets done, how teams collaborate, and how value is created from new tools.
