More Than 13% of the Workforce Complete a 48 Hour Week or More: Inspire 360 Comments

Manchester, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2015 -- Recent statistics show that increasing numbers of British workers are at risk of exhaustion and burn-out due to the amount of time they spend in activities linked to work. The number of people putting in more than 48 hours a week has risen to 13% of the total workforce, a figure up by 15% from 2010. Working 48 hours a week or more can cause problems, not only for the health and wellbeing of employees, but also their social and personal lives. The findings were made by the Trade Union Congress which concluded that whilst the number of people working such long hours declined a few years ago, it now appears on the rise again.
