Have a break – have a brainwave (UK)
While finding that only 14% of employers felt positive about their workers taking regular short breaks, a new survey of 1,000 British workers also uncovered data that suggests the other 86% could be costing their companies dear in terms of reduced productivity from tired and uninspired workers.
‘The Take A Break Report’ published by the UK-based online vape shop, the Electric Tobacconist, found that – whatever the bosses’ views – 49% of workers admitted to taking short breaks every 2 hours.
Another 15% took a short break every hour, while – according to the report – workers in the utility industries somehow managed to switch off from work twice every hour.
9% of 25-34 year old workers also managed to grab some ‘me’ time every 30 minutes, while 21% of 18-24 year olds made do with a break every hour. Despite their significantly greater workplace experience, more than a third of 55-64 year olds jogged along on a time out every 2 hours.
However, to provide managers with food for thought over the festive season, the report also suggests that many workers believed that their short breaks away from the workstation had a positive effect on their work performance.
For example, 36% believe that their breaks boosted their productivity and energy levels: 27% claimed to have experienced a moment of inspiration while queuing behind the 25-34 year olds at the water cooler and 23% have discovered some news or information that has benefited their work performance.
