Using your phones and tablet to access your work email outside office hours can dramatically improve your stress levels, researchers have warned.

‘The unusual dichotomy in key well-being outcomes -daily stress and life satisfaction – and work-related mobile technology use provides evidence that such behaviors can both positively and negatively influence employees’ well-being,’ the researchers said.
