  1. Say Goodbye to the 9-to-5 Workday By  Jennifer Lawinski 12 July 2012

  2. Say Goodbye to the 9-to-5 Workday By Jennifer Lawinski on 2012-07-12 No matter what time they show up in the office, many employees have been hard at work since they woke up, according to new research from data protection and availability firm Mozy. Mobile technologies—including smartphones, apps and cloud services—are helping workers stay connected day and night, turning them into productivity machines, according to the report, "The New 9 to 5". Around the world, the survey finds that the average worker first checks his or her work email at 7:42 a.m., gets into the office at 8:18 a.m., leaves at 5:48 p.m. and stops working completely at 7:19 p.m. In exchange, workers are coming in later and spending more workday time on personal tasks. "Workers everywhere are making the most of the technology available to them to build more flexibility for work and family," said Russ Stockdale, general manager of Mozy. "Hard work isn't going unnoticed, and mobile working and technology are having more of an impact on employer attitudes than people think." Nearly 1,000 workers in the United States, Britain, Germany, France and Ireland participated in the research.

  3. Blended working causes a shift in working patterns The new 9-to-5 The days of working 9-to-5 are being replaced by new working patterns that see employees not only working more when they’re out of the office but also spending more time at their desks too. Just as workers underestimated the amount of flexibility employers are willing to give in terms of start times, employers are also underestimating the amount of time that workers spend completing tasks in their own time. Further evidence that flexible working is growing faster than anyone appreciates. As a whole, employers thought that their employees were putting in an average of 55 minute a day working away from the office. In reality, employees had clocked up a mean of 46 minutes of extra work before they had even reached their desks in the morning. Added from the Mozy report
