Asana Anatomy of Work Index Reveals: Employees Spend Nearly Two-Thirds of Their Day on Work About Work
Summary
Globally, survey respondents reflected spending 60 percent of their day on coordination, such as communicating about project status, searching for information, and managing shifting priorities, rather than on the skilled job they’ve been hired to do. The Anatomy of Work Index was conducted by Sapio Research on behalf of Asana to better understand how employees are spending their time, the factors shaping their habits, and how organizations can more effectively manage individual and team processes. We believe this represents a tremendous opportunity for teams to streamline their processes and better orchestrate their work — ultimately giving them valuable time back in their day to focus on what matters most.” Additional findings highlight the geographical differences in the modern workplace: Reimagining the Way We Work Across all employees surveyed, an overwhelming 83 percent believe their team isn’t as effective as they could be due to not having the right processes in place to manage and streamline their collective efforts. Asana and Sapio Research co-designed the questionnaire and surveyed the behaviors and attitudes of 10,223 knowledge workers across the UK; US; Japan; Australia/New Zealand; and Germany. Global customers such as AirAsia, AllBirds, Grab, KLM Air France, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Sephora, Traveloka, Uber, and Viessmann rely on Asana to manage everything from company objectives to digital transformation to product launches and marketing campaigns.
