If you’re an IT worker in Australia, chances are your job is pushing further into your personal life.
That’s the finding of a new report from PagerDuty that overall puts Australian IT workers behind their US and UK counterparts when it comes to work-life balance.
The number 1 symptom of poor work life balance across all 3 countries was the inability to manage stress and nearly all IT workers in the survey agreed that managing today’s always-on culture impacted their family lives.
Also from the survey;
• More than half (51 per cent) of IT professionals surveyed experience sleep and / or other personal life interruptions due to a digital service disruption or an outage more than 10 times a week.
• 72 per cent of IT professionals say their managers have little or no visibility in knowing when they are experiencing a difficult on-call period.
• Of the 82 per cent of Australian respondents that rated their work-life balance as good, very good or excellent, 52 per cent agreed that poor work-life balance is just part of the job. Forty five per cent agree their work-life balance isn’t the greatest, but they deal with it.
