Description:
British workers are burnt out by endless notifications  heres how workplaces
can address that.

FULL STORY

UK workers are more stressed and burnt out than their global peers, new
Atlassian research has found, with 70% saying they experience work-related
stress and nearly half (49%) feel regularly burnt out. 

Atlassian found one in five workers spend more than four hours per day
responding to instant messages, and one in 10 spend more than seven hours per
week in meetings. 

This has led to three in four (73%) feeling overwhelmed by continual
notifications and real-time communications, which is 11% above the global
average.

UK workers are sick of notifications 

Its not just during work hours that employees are facing struggles  as many 
as one in three say they dont even have control over when they work, noting a
lack of flexibility in a post-pandemic, hybrid world. Around three-fifths
(58%) still follow fixed daily schedules, with 34% failing to reach even two
hours of focused work per day. 

Looking ahead, its not just businesses that are wishing they had more output
from workers  workers themselves want more time to think and create. 

Atlassian praised asynchronous work for its ability to provide respite to
workers  a type of work where colleagues collaborate and complete tasks
independently during their own schedules, for example by leaving comments in
documents. 

Two-thirds (65%) of those who use this more indirect working method say its
already improved their mental health, with 32% noting less pressure to 
respond to messages immediately. 

This report on the state of workers serves as an important reminder for
companies to consider implementing more flexible schedules, to reduce 
reliance on real-time communication via asynchronous work practices, and to
promote focus times.
