Luxembourg -Quality of life at workplace is deteriorating -November 18, 2015

Life in the workplace is deteriorating as people work longer unpaid hours and struggle to balance work and private lives, a survey suggests. Workers in the services sector worked the highest additional unpaid hours, working on average the equivalent of an additional day per week (8.6 hours). The overall rating for quality of life in the workplace given by workers who participated in the survey for the 2015 Quality of Work Index, published by worker federation ‘Chambre des Salariés’, fell slightly in 2015. The downward trend continues since the first index of 59 was published in 2013.
