The way we think about work has changed. But how we work hasn’t kept up.
Workers in Australia and New Zealand are losing 58% of their time to ‘work about work’ (e.g. meetings and status checks), with just 29% left for skilled work (e.g coding or market analysis) and 13% for strategy (e.g. forward-looking planning). Weekly, they’re spending almost an hour more in unnecessary meetings than they did in 2019—totalling 158 hours annually. Further, they’re losing over 5 hours—240 hours each year—to duplicated work/work that is no longer relevant.
As a result, 77%—above the global average—experienced burnout in 2020.
To understand how the office has changed, what’s working and what’s not, and to shine a light on better approaches, we analysed the attitudes and behaviours of over 13,000 knowledge workers globally, including 2,103 in Australia and New Zealand.
