Working from home blurring the boundaries for some

From Sunday Morning, 10:45 am on 3 October 2021

The Covid-19 lockdowns have seen a global shift in how we work, with millions adjusting to working from home. But what does that mean for our working habits? 

An international study from Microsoft suggests people are working longer, but not necessarily harder, while local research by AUT Professor of Human Resource Management, Jarrod Haar, suggests most people's workload has stayed about the same. 

However, some are working more than the expected eight hours, and others are milking the opportunity to partake in a spot of good old-fashioned loafing. 

Professor Haar joins the show to discuss his findings and what Covid has done to the workday.
