I have no idea how they reached him at our rented cottage in Cornwall, but \u2014 according to my mother, who was not pleased \u2014 the event was a talking point among their friends for months afterwards. \u201cDo you know that they actually interrupted him on HOLIDAY?!\u201d&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</span></p><p><span>Today, for many, it would be remarkable if work didn\u2019t intrude into a vacation. Our \u201c<strong>always-on&lt;\/strong&gt;\u201d culture means it takes great discipline not to check emails or texts in the evening, at the weekend or on the beach. According to research carried out by Microsoft UK published last October, 56 per cent of us have answered work calls while out of the office.&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</strong></span></p><p><span>Combine this with long working hours, and the result is stress, home life under pressure and the risk of <strong>burnout&lt;\/strong&gt;.&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</strong></span></p><p><span>In the UK, full-time employees work some of the longest hours in Europe \u2014 an average of 42 hours a week. Yet, according to a 2019 analysis by the TUC, the <strong>umbrella&lt;\/strong&gt; <strong>organization&lt;\/strong&gt; for trade unions, the effort is literally counterproductive. It found employees in Germany worked 1.8 fewer hours but were 14.6 per cent more productive. In Denmark, which has the EU\u2019s shortest working week, productivity was 23.5 per cent higher than in the UK.&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</strong></strong></span></p><p><span>As the TUC general secretary, Frances O\u2019Grady, said: \u201cBritain\u2019s long-hours culture is nothing to be proud of.\u201d&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</span></p><p><span>Statistics may be subject to variables, but we all know people who work far beyond what is good for them: the lawyer who goes home only to sleep, or the nurse or doctor working 12-hour shifts with nowhere to rest or buy food during breaks.&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</span></p><p><span>Concern over long working hours has reached that <strong>most macho of places&lt;\/strong&gt;: the trading floor. London\u2019s Stock Exchange, like many other exchanges in Europe, is open for eight hours a day, with traders typically working several hours beforehand or afterwards. In the US, by contrast, exchanges are open for six and a half hours, while in Japan it is just five.&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</strong></span></p><p><span>The Investment Association and the Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) are now urging European exchanges \u2014 including the Deutsche B\u00f6rse \u2014 to reduce their opening hours by 90 minutes. They believe it will help address \u201csignificant mental health issues\u201d and improve diversity. As AFME\u2019s April Day was quoted saying: \u201cIt\u2019s hard to find childcare at five o\u2019clock in the morning.\u201d&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</span></p><p><span>Knowing that long hours are bad for human health, happiness, safety, talent and the <strong>bottom line&lt;\/strong&gt; should make change a <strong>no-brainer&lt;\/strong&gt;. In response to the proposal to cut trading hours, however, one market commentator told London\u2019s <em>City A.M<strong>.&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;\/em&gt; newspaper: \u201cIf the heat in the kitchen is too hot, get out.\u201d&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n\n</strong></em></strong></strong></span></p><p><span>Now, you can either see that as the perfect solution or a perfect illustration of the problem.&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;\n"},"library":"H5P.AdvancedText 1.1","subContentId":"5c924065-6ef7-410a-88f9-feeac74eed81","metadata":{"contentType":"Text","license":"U","title":"Unbenannt: Text","authors":[],"changes":[]}},"useSeparator":"auto"}]},</span></p></span></h3>
