A staggering 67% of UK workers admit to engaging in 'productivity theater,' where they perform tasks to appear busy rather than accomplishing meaningful work.
Asana's research highlights that productivity theater places undue stress on a small group of genuinely productive workers, with 40% observing colleagues affected by this imbalance.
Nearly 70% of workers report unmanageable workloads, leading many to take additional sick leaves, indicating a direct impact of productivity theater on worker well-being.
The trend of productivity theater is compounded by modern work dynamics, as many employees spend over 10 hours a week on performative tasks that do not add value.
