A data-backed operating manual for global teams who are done with “just work harder” as a strategy.

Get the 2026 global trends and benchmarks report: How work gets done plus two bonus PDFs, a productivity benchmarks pack, and a time zone overlap playbook built from anonymized data from 140,000+ workers and 17,000 organizations using Hubstaff, combined with external research.

If your weeks feel like nonstop meetings, late-night catch-up, and a tool stack that never stops growing, you’re not imagining it. The data backs you up.

• The average worker gets 2–3 focused hours a day (39% of tracked time). Hybrid teams drop to 31%.
• Meetings are taking over: 25% land in peak deep-work hours, and employees attend 2× as many per year.
• Teams use 18 apps/day (often 24–36). Every switch adds “toggle tax” and drains time.
• AI adoption rose (67% → 73%), but usage dipped (4% → 3%). Hybrid teams lead: 84% use AI and spend 11% of the day in AI tools.
• 50+ hour weeks are a system failure, not a flex. In some leadership and customer-facing roles, up to 28% log at least one 50+ hour week, an avoidable capacity crunch waiting to break.
