How often do you use your smartphone for work while you're home?
This constant stream of work is great for business, however, it can take a toll on employees' personal lives.
Studies show that people who work longer than 8 hours a day have a higher risk of developing depression, according to Shape Magazine.
By constantly being connected to the office, it can be difficult to escape work, even when you're on vacation or with your family.
Do you expect employees to work outside the office?
However, not everything about this shift to an around-the-clock workday is negative.
A survey conducted by Mozy, a data-protection company, found that bosses are becoming more and more laid-back about their employees showing up late for work.
Why? Because they realize that their workers are on their smartphones sending e-mails before bed and calling clients before work.
What does that mean? It could mean being with the family a little longer in the morning, or more time preparing yourself for the day.
