One problem reported by virtually all staff groups was the imbalance between work hours and work loads. The result is parallel to the student part of the survey showed that <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/45-copenhagens-students-are-stressed-every-day\" target=\"_blank\">45 per cent of students were stressed.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Workload issues<\/h2>\n<p>Academic staff have reported that their workloads are far too heavy and affect their private lives, while technical and administrative staff also list workload as their biggest problem.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of satisfaction with workload, the University of Copenhagen is well below the organisations with which it usually compares itself. Many members of staff also feel that they lack adequate feedback from their immediate line managers. <\/p>\n<p>Rector Ralf Hemmingsen says the study reveals that “getting the work\/life balance is one obvious priority”, but is pleased with the progress on the points raised by the survey. Maintaining these high levels are “crucial to employee satisfaction”.<\/p>\n<p>See a more detailed report on KUnet.dk <a href=\"https:\/\/intranet.ku.dk\/ku_en\/News\/Pages\/staff_thriving_despite_workload.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">here (needs log-in).<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click also to see the full report on Pdf icon below.<\/p>\n<p>universitypost@adm.ku,dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Like us on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UniversityPost\" target=\"_blank\"> Facebook <\/a> for features, guides and tips on upcoming events.
