Shadow Admin: A Morale-Sapping Issue
According to research by Perk, a travel and spend management platform, 76% of UK employees spend a significant portion of their working week on admin tasks, leading to reduced morale and increased burnout.
- Workers lose an average of 9 hours a week to "shadow work", nearly a quarter of a 40-hour week.
- 12 minutes of focus are lost every time employees switch back to core tasks.
- Activities such as planning business travel, filing expense claims, and managing team admin contribute to the problem.
Half of UK employees identified shadow work as the biggest driver of burnout, while 52% reported that these extra tasks negatively affect their job satisfaction.
