As Paquette writes: “
Workaholism isn’t necessarily a sign of value.”
Simply putting in more face time in the office doesn’t mean you’re working smart or accomplishing more.
Yana Gallen’s research, for example, found a gender productivity gap of 8% between men and women, pointing out that “almost
two-thirds of the residual wage gap is due to productivity differences between men and women.”
But unlike these studies that found men to be more productive at work than women because of these inequities, Hive’s research—which sampled over 3,000 men and women across hundreds of workspaces—revealed that
women contribute 10% more at work than their male peers do. The findings focused not just on hours worked, but on actual deliverables contributed and completed—in other words, productivity.
