Study: Real-time communication stresses German office workers
A recent survey by Atlassian reveals that more than half of German office workers (56 percent) feel overwhelmed at least occasionally by notifications or the pressure to respond immediately.
Key findings from the study include:
- 59 percent of respondents spend two or more hours daily answering emails or chat messages.
- 78 percent of respondents from a 2024 Atlassian study stated that they can hardly attend to their core work if they participate in all scheduled meetings.
- 69 percent of respondents enjoy a certain degree of freedom in managing their working hours, but this flexibility does not automatically lead to less stress.
The daily work routine in many companies is designed in such a way that employees must be available almost at any time for short-notice meetings or to answer messages.
Author's summary: German office workers feel stressed due to constant availability pressure.
