- An increased workload will result increased levels of stress as employers may now be expected to carry on working at home which cuts into social time. Employees will have to spend extra time at home to complete work set to deadlines so work life will now last longer and stretch into free time at home. This can lead to employees becoming more fatigued and so the work production will not be to the standard which is expected. Research suggests stress levels are raised due to working long hours and over time with very little rest and recovery. This is shown in the article provided. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4160358.stm
- The use of ICT in professional life will limit the opportunity of employees to work outside where they will gain fresh air. The fact that employees are expected to complete a higher amount of work at home means that will be stuck inside on the computer and so that means they will have less time to go out with friends and relax or spend quality time with family.
