As the pandemic recedes, a study by ActivTrak reveals that employees now work an average of 8 hours and 44 minutes per day, about 36 minutes less than before. Despite this reduction, productivity increased by 2%. The study indicates that shorter work sessions can enhance focus and output, as evidenced by a rise in productive time utilization and a more consistent output regardless of the day or season. Industries like logistics have particularly benefited from these trends, suggesting a shift in work dynamics.
The actual amount of time people spend on the job each day has gotten shorter in the post-pandemic era, but their productivity has increased.
Participants reduced the time they spent on the job by 36 minutes, or 7 percent, to an average of 8 hours and 44 minutes each day.
As the average workday decreased, productive time utilization rose by 6 minutes, to 6 hours and 17 minutes, indicating more effective working conditions.
The most effective work portion increased from 20 to 24 minutes, a gain of 20 percent, demonstrating improved concentration and efficiency over shorter periods.
