UK workers spend less than 40% of the week doing their actual job
The UK State of Work report, by productivity specialists Workfront, found that workers spend less than 40% of the day actually doing their primary duties, due to a culture of excessive meetings and emails.
The UK lags behind many other European countries in terms of productivity, and boosting it is seen as a central means of improving a stagnant economy. Philip Hammond, the UK chancellor, referred to the productivity problem several times in his speech at the Conservative party's conference this week.
The Workfront survey was conducted among 600 UK adults who work at a company of over 500 people. Here are some of the highlights from the report:
