Survey reveals phone use and distraction habits among UK workers

A new survey has found that many UK workers are distracted at their jobs. The company Careerminds UK asked 600 employees about their habits at work. Nearly a third said they scroll on their phones during meetings. More than 44 percent admitted to doing three or more harmful habits every month. These habits include being lazy, ignoring messages, and not paying attention in meetings. Over 37 percent said they deal with personal tasks while they should be working. The survey also found that younger workers, especially those in Gen Z, often struggle with managing their time well. However, digital distractions have affected employees of all ages. Experts say these habits can damage a person's chances of moving forward in their career.
