Employees checking email outside work hours has been linked to higher levels of stress and pressure. While personality type affects the degree to which pressure is felt, organisations are being urged to put policies in place to stop employees letting work overspill into home life.

The recommendations are from a report by Future Work Centre, called You’ve got mail!, which polled 2,000 people across a variety of industries, sectors and job roles.
