While shooting between office mandates and remote work continues, a new survey shows an unwavered light on how certain distance workers really spend their 9 to 5. Midi naps and household tasks with skirts to jump and even have sexual relations during working hours, the study suggests that the advantages of remote work can be accompanied by a productivity abrupt.
The survey, conducted by application of book summary Move forwardquestioned 1,000 workers from a distance and revealed that 1 in 4 took an entire day of leave without anyone noticingand the same number admits to Disconnect after only four hours or less on a typical day. Even more about employers: 40% admit to simulation activity To deceive surveillance software by thinking that it works.
What do workers really do during these hours of “work”? According to data:
-
50% do personal shopping During the chronometer
-
1 in 4 take naps during working hours
-
1 in 10 admit to having sex during the day
-
54% say that they spend more time on tasks than real work
And it is not only productivity that takes a blow – social well -being also seems to suffer. 56% say they spent whole weeks without leaving the housewith 1 out of 5 doing it regularly. In the meantime, 1 of 3 admit to days without any interaction in personAnd Two -thirds often jump their daily shower. Alarming, almost 1 in 10 admit spending a full week without swimming.
While the statistics could cause some raised eyebrows, the head of the people of Headway, Mariana saysThink that the image is more nuanced than simply blaming the work remotely for the drop in output.
“Many business leaders are in contradiction with their employees rather than remote work policies. Although many workers like flexibility and autonomy that home work, some employers believe that companies pay the price with productivity “,” said Boloban.
“In the end, there are not two identical workers, and what improves productivity for some can prove to be distracting for others. Although many employees thrive away, there are many who have trouble concentrating. So, is remote work ultimately beneficial for employers, employees and results?
The results land because many companies are starting to tighten remote work allowances, demanding more office days and closer surveillance. But for employees who savor the freedom of distant life, this could mean the flexibility of negotiation for the front time – whether ready or not.
