, they discovered that
most workers average just 2 hours and 48 minutes of productive time per day—a far cry from the 8 hours we all think we have. And because employees have less time for productive work than they think during the workday, many end up taking work home. In fact, RescueTime found that 26 percent of all work is done outside of normal working hours.
Whether it’s the fault of your organization’s management style or hustle culture, if your employees are overworking they are getting burnt out. They’re stressed, unfocused, and distracted, which means they’ll end up working longer hours but getting less done in that time.
It’s a lose-lose.
