A new study has found that U.S. office workers find the office the most productive place to get work done but that long hours and stress within the office still lead to burnout and looking for other positions.
The second annual Workplace Index conducted by Staples Business Advantage uncovered this love-hate relationship with the office through questions surrounding stress and productivity. Employees reported working longer hours to catch up with work they couldn’t tackle during an eight hour work day and the study found that workload was taking a toll:
- 64 percent of respondents say their workplace has contributed to stress
- Nearly half report feeling overworked is motivating them to look for another job
- 13 percent have even taken a workplace stress-related leave of absence
These results point to the importance of an office environment that is sensitive to employee needs, according to Staples.
The Staples Business Advantage Workplace Index is a study involving 936 U.S. office workers and 1,059 business decision makers in the United States.
