A study by the career website Zety offers additional insights into how to empower employees to maximize their productivity. “In a world where productivity drives success, understanding when and how workers perform at their best is crucial,” the report said. The study found that:

More than half of workers report achieving peak performance between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m., while only 15% feel most productive after 2 p.m.
Forty-three percent of employees find remote work more conducive to productivity than hybrid (30%) or on-site (22%) arrangements.
Four in 10 workers rely on digital tools for task management, while 9% still depend on memory alone.
Distracting environments (57%) and micromanagement (56%) are the top workplace productivity killers.
External factors, such as mental health issues (54%) and caregiving responsibilities (51%), play a significant role in hindering productivity.

“Employers should address burnout by encouraging manageable workloads and fostering a culture that prioritizes work-life balance,” the Resume Now report said.
