The Grey Work Index: Navigating the Future of Work in the UK & Ireland

Grey Work is a challenge that many of us are all too familiar with, especially here in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The endless manual tasks, the fragmented processes, the systems that just don’t communicate with each other—it’s a real headache. And while Grey Work is an issue everywhere, it seems to be hitting us even harder on this side of the pond.

Our latest research, The Grey Work Index, sheds some light on this. It turns out that decision-makers in the UK and Ireland are feeling the strain more than their counterparts elsewhere. Only 7% of respondents here say they’re “extremely” confident in the accuracy of their key project information. And when it comes to keeping productivity levels up, we’re finding it more difficult than ever.

With our region in the midst of significant changes—new regulations to navigate and a demand for building projects that’s outstripping supply—there’s never been a more crucial time to tackle Grey Work. If we’re going to stay ahead, we need to get a handle on these challenges now.
