A survey carried out by the Bank of Scotland has revealed that the amount of time UK business owners spend at work has increased over the past 12 months.
In a survey of more than 1,000 senior executives revealed that the majority were spending over 50 hours a week at work, this is up by almost three hours a week from a year earlier. Those surveyed revealed that time at work was likely to increase due to the failing economy and additional work demands.
71 percent of those surveyed revealed that the rise in their working hours has had a detrimental affect on their wellbeing and health, 71 percent reporting a feeling of stress; compared to just 54 percent from a year earlier.
