Britons are seeking a better work-life balance but aren’t seeing it – especially in advertising, where long hours and inflexibility have sparked walkouts. As firms realise changing norms around working hours, they’re taking steps to accommodate flexible working arrangements.

Everybody gets stressed out from time to time, but 37% of Britons claim to feel this way for at least one full day each week, with workplace issues being a key trigger. Canvas8 spoke to 20 people from across the UK to find out what exactly frustrates and infuriates them at work.

British workers favour time away from work over any other benefit, when asked what career perks they value over a pay rise. More than a quarter of UK workers said that of the perks, additional holiday time, more flexible working hours, and sabbaticals would top their list.

A regular nine-to-five from Monday to Friday isn’t for everyone. In fact, 87% of British employees either work or want to work flexibly, freeing up time for their families or passion projects. Ginibee aims to help these individuals – and their employers – by splitting their job with another person.
