If you want to be the best, you have to put in the hours. So goes the conventional thinking in virtually every profession, from office workers to professional athletes.

And yet, despite those findings, 77% of human resources leaders believe that better-performing employees work longer hours, according to the same survey. It's a notable number considering HR teams are facing their own burnout crisis, as CHRO Daily reported last month.
