I’ve run IT for a number of SMEs and I always insist that BYOD devices have to have a separate work profile that can be switched off at will or on a schedule. It’s better for the company and the user. I can’t understand why anyone would do it differently.
Depends on the handset, but you can silence Work Profile or even temporarily disable it altogether. Also, WP prevents BYOD apps from having any access to personal apps and data. Also, for the business, it allows them to enforce isloation policies (so you can’t copy from work Outlook into personal GMail, for example) and means that if the phone needs to be wiped it only affect the WP partition.

Does having a work profile and a personal one prevent notifications between them?
