More than 80% of Staff who Work From Home watch TV.
Some remote workers might be taking advantage of the flexibility that working from home offers. Watching TV while working can be seen as a way to balance work and personal time, but it can also be a distraction that affects productivity...
A survey conducted by TonerGiant revealed that 82% of UK Hybrid Workers admitted to watching TV while working from home. The survey included 2,000 hybrid workers and found that men are slightly more likely to watch TV than women, with streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ being the most popular choices.
The study also highlighted that Gen Z employees aged 18 to 24 were likelier to watch TV while working.
On average, employees who watched TV while working spent around two hours in front of the screen.
The survey found that 82% of respondents admitted to either watching TV while working or abandoning work altogether to watch TV. Specifically, 91% of Gen Z employees admitted to tuning in to something at some point during their work shift.
Streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, and YouTube were the most popular choices for employees to watch while working. Shows like "This Morning," "Come Dine with Me," and "Homes Under the Hammer" were among the top picks for employees.
The survey also highlighted that men were more likely than women to spend extra time watching TV while working, with male workers spending an average of 19 minutes more each day in front of the TV than their female counterparts.
According to the survey, workers in London watch more TV from home than employees in other areas, averaging nearly three hours per day.
These findings may raise concerns for employers, especially considering a recent study that found working from home does not necessarily increase productivity, despite 87% of employees believing they are more productive when not commuting to the office.
Stuart Deavall, a digital marketing manager at TonerGiant, the company that commissioned the study, commented, "It's interesting to see that three years after the beginning of the pandemic, the priorities and attitudes of Brits towards their work-life balance continue to shift.
