Staying in touch constantly by using laptops, BlackBerrys and other wireless devices has blurred the line between a person’s professional and personal life, according to a new survey by Yahoo! HotJobs.
Seventy five percent of people questioned in a survey said they used their wireless devices equally for work and personal reasons. Nearly 30 percent were so attached to them they only switched them off while sleeping.
“Wireless devices are powerful communications tools. While they were intended to provide convenience and flexibility for workers’ lives, they have changed the physical parameters of the workplace and extended the work day. Professionals can work from anywhere and connect at any time,” Susan Vobejda, vice president of marketing at Yahoo! HotJobs, said in a statement.
Vobjeda says it is important for people to set limits on when and how to disengage in order to maintain work-life balance.
