When the laptop is always open, is business ever closed? Such is the dilemma of the infinite workday.
It’s not just HR and business leaders who suffer from a work world without borders. The expectation to be constantly available is taking a significant toll on employee well-being and, crucially, their engagement.
This isn’t just about longer hours. It’s about the pervasive nature of work creeping into every corner of personal time. Employees are logging on earlier and staying online later, navigating a relentless stream of ad-hoc meetings and messages that often come at the expense of focused productivity – or worse, their mental health. While AI can streamline some tasks, it can also inadvertently amplify the pressure, creating a constant state of disruption.
For HR professionals, the impact is particularly acute, often experiencing a “triple peak” of communication before, during, and after traditional work hours. This unsustainable pace leads to burnout, stress, and a significant decline in overall job satisfaction.
