   Description:   
   British workers are burnt out by endless notifications  heres how workplaces   
   can address that.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   UK workers are more stressed and burnt out than their global peers, new   
   Atlassian research has found, with 70% saying they experience work-related   
   stress and nearly half (49%) feel regularly burnt out.    
      
   Atlassian found one in five workers spend more than four hours per day   
   responding to instant messages, and one in 10 spend more than seven hours per   
   week in meetings.    
      
   This has led to three in four (73%) feeling overwhelmed by continual   
   notifications and real-time communications, which is 11% above the global   
   average.   
      
   UK workers are sick of notifications    
      
   Its not just during work hours that employees are facing struggles  as many    
   as one in three say they dont even have control over when they work, noting a   
   lack of flexibility in a post-pandemic, hybrid world. Around three-fifths   
   (58%) still follow fixed daily schedules, with 34% failing to reach even two   
   hours of focused work per day.    
      
   Looking ahead, its not just businesses that are wishing they had more output   
   from workers  workers themselves want more time to think and create.    
      
   Atlassian praised asynchronous work for its ability to provide respite to   
   workers  a type of work where colleagues collaborate and complete tasks   
   independently during their own schedules, for example by leaving comments in   
   documents.    
      
   Two-thirds (65%) of those who use this more indirect working method say its   
   already improved their mental health, with 32% noting less pressure to    
   respond to messages immediately.    
      
   This report on the state of workers serves as an important reminder for   
   companies to consider implementing more flexible schedules, to reduce    
   reliance on real-time communication via asynchronous work practices, and to   
   promote focus times.
