The concept of work-life balance has come to the forefront during the past two years as COVID-19 has impacted our work habits, social life, and the quality of family time. While many people have expressed a preference for telecommuting instead of returning to the office, the potential drawbacks of working from home are now coming to light.
Ergonomic Trends reports that 60% of Americans feel they have a poor work-life balance–mostly due to a lack of boundaries between their professional and home life. Working on weekends and evenings is one sign that work is infringing on what was once considered personal time. One survey reported by Ergonomic Trends points out that 70% of those who switched to remote work say their job activities are spilling over into the weekend.
