You can't tune work out or turn it off. You've got the e-mail, the voice mail, the pager. Even when you're not at work, work is very much with you. It's harder for employees to balance their personal needs and the expectations of the boss.

It's a major problem when workers don't show up. There's not a lot of 'fluff' in many businesses any more. Products aren't made, products aren't shipped, projects aren't done. It's a big problem for businesses.

Change is hard, or it's perceived to be harder than it is.

It's an expensive problem. The model for when and how we work has changed.

You might find people are more productive when they're at work if they don't go in feeling so hassled and stretched out for time.
