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 by notifications or the pressure to respond immediately.
- 59 percent of respondents spend two or more hours daily answering emails or chat messages.
- 78 percent stated that they can hardly attend to their core work if they participate in all scheduled meetings (Atlassian study, 2024).
- 69 percent of respondents enjoy a certain degree of freedom in managing their working hours, known as flextime.
Despite the flexibility in working hours, the daily work routine in many companies requires employees to be available almost at any time for short-notice meetings or to answer messages, leading to increased stress.
More than half of German office workers suffer from the pressure of constant availability.
Author's summary: German office workers feel overwhelmed by real-time communication demands.
