A recent survey by mobile operator T-Mobile indicates that 59 per cent of employers do not see their employees staying late as an indication of how hard-working they are.
The study surveyed over 500 businesses with fewer than 250 employees across the UK and revealed that three in five employers do not equate long hours to hard work with over half of them not rewarding their staff for working late. Bosses are more impressed with those that work productively within the scheduled hours rather than those spending extra time in the office.
The research also found that although employers are increasingly investing in mobile working tools, such as Blackberries, to increase productivity and provide staff with effective tools to work out of the office, they are still facing some human resource challenges which they need to overcome.
The T-Mobile study investigated evolving employer and employee attitudes to the long hours working culture and the impact that an increase in flexible working can have on management and the motivation of an organisation’s staff.
T-Mobile worked alongside Kingston Business School. Christine Edwards, Professor of Human Resource Management at the school, said, “In light of recent legislation extending flexible working rights to more employees, now is the time for all employers to consider how they can get the best out of their workers.
“Employers need to ensure they offer the best mobile technology and support to make things as easy as possible for the mobile workforce.”
