March Madness Fever @ The Workplace: Much Ado About Nothing?

March Madness is back again at a workplace near you and maybe even at your own. With 27 Canadians participating in this years' tournament, public interest on this side of the border will be at an all-time high. Canadians have been exposed to teams like the Jawhawks, Orange and the Wolverines on Canadian networks and in Canadian media thanks to Andrew Wiggins, Tyler Ennis and Nik Stauskas.

Last year this time, Darren Heitner wrote March Madness Employee Productivity Problem is Overstated, Yet Influences Corporate Change in which he reported that a survey of 500 IT professionals disclosed that one-third were preparing to block, ban or slow down streamed March Madness content and 29% of those surveyed believed that content policies would get stricter over the next couple of years. Only 4% reported that policies will become more relaxed with time.
