Long working hours for little return

Data collected by the Institute suggests that managers in the transport & logistics sector are putting in too many hours, for too few returns.

In detail, the ‘Quality of Working Life’ study found that 94% of managers in the transport and logistics sector regularly work over their contracted hours; the average manager works 1 hour 18 minutes over contract each day – equivalent to roughly 40 days per year, or 184m days each year for the UK’s management population; only 1 in 3 work excess hours by choice; and 50% in the transport and logistics sector believe that the UK’s long hours culture affects their productivity and 40% argue that working excessively hits morale.
