HERE ARE 5 REASONS WHY YOUR WORK LIFE IS LESS PLEASANT!!Workplace trends that have gone bad!!

1. OPEN OFFICE SPACESOpen office spaces are gaining popularity, mainly because of affordable pricing. Many companies claim that an open office help in teamwork and better collaboration. However, most employees hate the open office layout because there is less privacy and distractions abound.Distractions in the workplace are directly related to productivity. You can find it difficult to focus on projects where you need deep thinking. In fact, studies show that although there is more collaboration benefits in an open office space, but the noise and distraction outweigh them in when it comes to employee satisfaction.

2. THE DECLINE IN SUPPORT POSITIONSA wide range of companies around the world have eliminated a great percentage of labour force that works as administrative assistants. This basically means, employees are now doing additional tasks that were handled by assistants. From ordering office supplies to organising meetings and booking their own travel, employees are handling administrative tasks. This means that workers are burdened with administrative tasks along with their usual workloads.

3. THE ADVENT OF HOT-DESKING

The advent of hot-desking has eliminated assigned workspaces. Now, the workplaces that provide hot-desking don’t have designated desks. In fact workers have the option to find a new desk every day, as per their specific requirements. This system is generally used in workplaces where workers are frequently out of office and most workstations are vacant. Some organisations say this increases teamwork, as you can collaborate with an individual you need on one project today and sit next to someone for a new project tomorrow.However, the challenge with hot-desking is that you cannot store your things such as files, snacks or personal items at your work desk for more than a day. It doesn’t allow you to personalise your work desk as per your preferences, the way you do it at your home.

4. LESS AMENITIESMany organisations are cutting some daily amenities, such as complimentary soft drinks, disposable utensils and chips that were easily available for the workers. Although, it might not seem a big deal, but it can make many employees feel less cared by the company. Some companies are even putting restrictions on business travel and meals.

5. THE TELEPRESSUREStaying fully disconnected from your work is essential to refresh and recharge your brain. But latest studies show that employees feel stressed as they need to stay plugged in on weekends and evenings, which disrupts their personal and social time.The main objective behind staying plugged in is to increase productivity, but in the long-run it leaves you sad and burnt out. Researchers call this as “telepressure”, which is the urge to respond to your emails, voicemails and texts as fast as you can.
