Hi everyone,
As you may or may not know, a Code of Practice on the Right to Disconnect was introduced last year in Ireland in an attempt to improve work life balance and prevent employees being bothered with work related issues after work.
I am conducting a survey for my Masters dissertation to assess the effectiveness of this Code of Practice amongst millennials (those born between 1980-1996).
It would be much appreciated if you could take 3 minutes out of your day to participate and hopefully yield some interesting results!
Thank you in advance- please see link below

3 minutes, sorry only have 2 and half mins to spare.
Done
People can select both yes and no for the consent question.
Sorry. Not a millennial.
I finished my MSc in HRM last year! After going through the data collection process I have every sympathy for people (especially students) doing surveys, I fill them out whenever I can, every response helps.
Best of luck to you with the next few months work, I hope it all goes well and you don’t lose your mind through SPSS lol
Done. Best of luck with it.
I did this on work time so who really wins

Done.
There you go now
Just fyi, I work in legal. For anyone else working legal you might have an issue with where they’d class themselves in your sectoral options.

I’m always confused by what “out of work hours” means. I think it’s pretty common for salaried people in tech and financial services where their contract says something like “40 hours a week or as long as it takes for work to be completed.”
There are no stipulated “work hours”. I think this Right to Disconnect thing isn’t really effective because if there is work to be done late in the evening I’m still “within work hours” per that statement in my contract. For this to be effective there would have to be some mandate to stipulate definitive working hours for those in these vague “as long as it takes” contracts.
Done, vive la resistance
Done. Heads up I answered No to currently working from Ireland, as I emigrated in February (housing related, you might find a few threads on that in this sub). But I did try to answer from my experience in Ireland (am Irish and was working there for 10yr+)…
Good luck with your dissertation.
Done. I’d be very interested to see the results of that!
easily solved without new legislation. get a second phone, only give out that number at work and pull out the battery any time your off.
if they give then tell them you werent rostered for being “on-call”
Done, good luck

Sorry I’m outside office hours. Maybe tomorrow.
(Just kidding. Done!)
👍
Sorry got to page 3, don’t have time anymore
I knew about the right to disconnect but after doing the survey I’ve put 2 and 2 together and realised why so many people put their out of office on at 5pm!
Personally I don’t bother with out of office each day or at weekends, it’s implied you finish at 5pm and I think it’s fair game to email people after 5pm but don’t expect someone to reply just because I sent it. If anyone demanded a response after 5pm I’d purposely delay any reply as long as possible.
Done best of luck
Done.
One thing Ill say though is the question asking if my company had made any changes I answered no. But they have always been excellent at not bothering you outside of work hours. But without that info answering no makes them look bad.
