According to research performed by Nectar Business for its 2010 Small Business Awards BlackBerry use effectively adds 10 days of work a year for employees. They did this research in the UK surveying 1,000+ BlackBerry workers about the impact of BlackBerrys on their working lives.
It seems like the consensus is that BlackBerrys do make you work more but it seems like it also makes work easier. They found that 71 percent of workers surveyed found email was the best form of communication. Though 24 percent said they feel stressed because they are always on call.
I am kind of curious what all of you think about BlackBerry usage for work. Does it enhance your work and make you more productive? Does it hamper your personal and family time? How do you balance the two?
