A new study, conducted by market researchers at Vanson Bourne on behalf of data protection specialist Mozy, suggests that global employers don’t expect their staffs to work a traditional 9-to-5 shift. The study, based on a poll of 1,000 U.S., British, German, French and Irish employees and employers, found that 73 percent of bosses don’t stick to a firm 9-to-5 schedule because they believe their staffs have started working before they actually arrive at the office. Mozy Vice President of Marketing Dave Robinson attributes this to a combination of changing work habits, employer attitude and the availability of mobile devices such as laptops and smartphones, as well as access to data on the go. Here, eWEEK offers some highlights of Mozy’s new study, titled “The New 9 to 5.”
