A recent study by DeskTime challenges the idea that longer work hours enhance productivity. It found that the most productive employees follow a 75/33 work-to-rest ratio, working for 75 minutes followed by a 33-minute break, resulting in approximately two and a half hours of rest during an eight-hour workday. This shift to longer breaks reflects changing work habits influenced by hybrid work. Insights from the study emphasize that productivity is subjective and reliant on balance, rather than endurance, highlighting the effectiveness of shorter work sessions.
The most productive employees will need about two hours and twenty-seven minutes of rest during an eight-hour workday, reflecting a shift towards longer breaks for more output.
This study reveals that a 75/33 work-to-rest ratio is leading to higher productivity, moving away from the belief that longer hours yield better results.
