A recent study by DeskTime contests the traditional notion that prolonged work hours enhance productivity. Instead, it finds that the most productive employees maintain a 75/33 work-to-rest ratio, requiring 2 hours and 27 minutes of rest in an 8-hour workday. The study also highlights that in-office or hybrid work models are more conducive to a healthier work-life balance compared to fully remote work. As employees spent their workdays from home during the pandemic, their work-to-rest ratio shifted to 112/26, resulting in fewer, shorter breaks. DeskTime's CEO emphasizes the importance of breaks for mental well-being.
A new study shows that the most productive staff work in shorter bursts and take longer breaks, contrary to the belief that non-stop work boosts productivity.
The CEO of DeskTime described the hybrid work model as 'the Goldilocks choice,' optimizing the balance between social interaction and focused work.
