Workload on rise for over half of Irish workers

Half of working adults in Ireland claim their workload has increased in the last 12 months and one in three admit they regularly suffer from work overload.

According to research conducted on behalf of Berocca, just over a third (36%) of workers say that low motivation negatively impacts their productivity and, on average, workers believe they use just 54% of their brain capacity in the workplace.

When it comes to reasons for low productivity, almost a third (31%) of women say their lack of energy hampers their work output compared with 18% of men.
