During the corona crisis, employees started working more hours, both people who work from home and staff who work on location. They are not more often overwhelmed by this, TNO concluded on the basis of a survey among more than ten thousand people published on Friday.
During the corona crisis, employees started working more hours, both people who work from home and staff who work on location. They are not more often overwhelmed by this, TNO concluded on the basis of a survey among more than ten thousand people published on Friday.
The share of burnout complaints remains “undiminished high” at 17 percent, according to TNO. Work-life balance has not changed. “The results seem to indicate good resilience in employees,” the research institute concludes.
More than a third of the people who work from home and a quarter of the employees who work outside the home work longer hours than before the corona crisis. However, the overall percentage of employees working overtime has fallen. The share decreased from 75 percent to 61 percent.
The people who do work overtime do so fanatically. “Before corona, these employees worked overtime on average four hours a week, by mid-2020 this had increased to eleven hours a week,” says TNO. But that has no effect on health. More than eight in ten employees describe their own health as good to very good. “That is even slightly more than before the corona crisis.”
