More than half of Brits feel overworked in their jobs - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com

"New statistics released this week show that millions of Brits feel overworked in their job, struggling to maintain a healthy work/life balance. According to a new employee wellness study from Jukebox Marketing, 53 per cent of British workers complain of being overworked. This is not only damaging to the health of a worker, but also affects performance in their roles. Managing their working day effectively will help reduce physical and mental health risks, alongside boosting productivity levels."

"For any professional, a healthy work-life balance is vital. Whether that's completing a daily walking target, or spending time with their families, workers must find time to switch off from their job tasks. Failure to separate their home life from the office can result in an inability to maintain a balanced diet, struggle with an unhealthy sleep pattern, and keep a consistent exercise routine. This can lead to serious physical health issues down the line, such as heart disease or type 2 diabetes."

"An unhealthy work-life balance can also lead to higher levels of stress, which may result in forced time off work - a recent study found that a fifth of Brits in the past year have needed time off work due to high stress levels. This only leads to a decline in work performance, alongside growth levels for your business. Concerningly, 38 per cent of workers have also admitted to feeling less productive at work due to lack of sleep."

Millions of British workers report feeling overworked, with 53% saying they are overworked. Overworking damages physical and mental health and reduces job performance; effective day management can lower health risks and boost productivity.
