Is work getting more intense?
Millions of employees in the UK are now able to work flexibly \u2013 fitting their job around their home life. Many in office jobs, can finish early on a Friday, and are allowed, even encouraged, to routinely work from home.
But, at the same time, we\u2019re told that the levels of overwork, stress, and burnout in this country are on the rise. More than 17 million working days were lost to work-related stress, depression and anxiety in the last year for which we have data. So what\u2019s going on?
Evan Davis and guests discuss whether work is really making employees feel burnt out and what's the best way to tackle it.
