“Older” employees, Gen X and Boomers, those who are over 45years, are sometimes accused of not being as skilled at utilising the benefits of tech in their work. Whilst that might be true for some, new research shows that these older workers tend to be more effective in setting clear work and nonwork boundaries when working from home and in managing their time. 

The research found this age group were more likely to use good work practices such as: 

- Setting strict start, break and end times 

- Having a dedicated space at home for only work 

- Creating new routines and dressing for work 

- Informing others about their availability 

Benefits of setting these boundaries include: 

- Fewer unfinished work tasks 

- Having better work-life balance. 

- Higher productivity 

Perhaps old dogs can learn new tricks!
