Workaholism is a dangerous addiction, and therefore scientists are actively trying to solve the problem of effective work organization. Another achievement in this direction was made by British researchers, who came to the conclusion that the employees' stay in the office throughout the working week does not always bring benefits.

The traditional model of office work is long outdated, Professor Tom Redmon and JBA consultants write in a study report. Companies that force employees to spend all their time in the office run the risk of lagging behind more dynamic colleagues. Researchers estimate that a traditionally established organization with 1,000 employees on average loses £ 1.5 million a year, or nearly 3% of its average annual profit.

The study "Effective work in the 21st century" was attended by 1000 British employees from private and public organizations

Those who work at least one day a week outside the office trust their superiors more, receive clearer tasks from them and can count on a fairer assessment of their work.

The main factors that prevent you from working productively from call to call are two: lack of clarity and lack of trust. Employees locked in four walls are twice as likely to distrust managers, feel disadvantaged in allocating resources, experience significantly higher levels of discontent and stress, and, in the end, are simply less likely to be present in the workplace than their colleagues with more autonomy. in work.

The longer people are in the office, the more likely they are to become dependent on changes in the mood of managers and just work neighbors, says Leonid Krol, director of the Institute of Group and Family Psychology. Too frequent contact knocks down the "frame", aligns the relationship between the manager and the subordinate. When the employee and manager communicate less often, but rather, the relationship between them turns out to be much healthier.
