When workplace annoyances hit, it makes the life of employees much harder, and often employees find themselves struggling to complete their work, says Carol Fitzgibbons, an HR expert at BPI Group, a global management and human resources consulting firm in Chicago.

Some of these workplace annoyances include slow decision-making decisions, unproductive processes and an endless stream of inefficient emails. While these annoyances might seem minor to an employer, they can build up overtime and cause employees begin to feel disengaged, Fitzgibbons says.

"The amount of effort an employee puts in and the amount they can actually get done because of these annoyances starts to get out of balance," Fitzgibbons says. "The annoyances that exist in the organization just become bigger, and it starts to affect the employees' desire to want to be there and be excited about things happening in the organization."
