The surprising connection between after-hours work and decreased productivity
·
Slack
- Employees who log off at the end of the workday register 20% higher productivity scores than those who feel obligated to work after hours.
- Making time for breaks during the workday improves employee productivity and well-being, and yet half of all desk workers say they rarely or never take breaks.
- On average, desk workers say that the ideal amount of focus time is around four hours a day, and more than two hours a day in meetings is the tipping point at which a majority of workers feel overburdened by meetings.
- Three out of every four desk workers report working in the 3 to 6pm timeframe, but of those, only one in four consider these hours highly productive.
