The most productive workers "rest" almost two and a half hours during an 8-hour workday, study claims

A study by DeskTime reveals that the most productive employees work in 75-minute bursts followed by 33-minute breaks, challenging the notion of non-stop work as optimal. The research suggests that in-office and hybrid models promote better work-life balance than fully remote work, with employees taking more frequent and longer breaks when not working from home. This new work-to-rest ratio of 75/33 contrasts with the 112/26 ratio observed during the pandemic's remote work period.
