UK workers challenged to manage increased meetings and business travel

Just under half of respondents feel more pressure to be constantly available, especially when commuting or traveling for business

More than a third of UK office workers report an increase in in-person meetings, which for many is leading to more business travel and a more difficult work-life balance, according to a survey commissioned by chauffeured ride-hailing platform provider Blacklane of more than 2,000 office-based professionals.

Key takeaways

• Among total respondents, 35% said their frequency of work-related travel has steadily increased over the past two years, and about two-thirds said they have travelled as many as 50 times for business over the previous 12 months;
• According to the survey, more than half (52%) of respondents who have experienced a rise in the number of in-person meetings are struggling to cope with the increased demand;
• Fifty-three per cent of respondents said they have seen remote meetings increase over that period as well, according to the survey.
