According to recent research, British people only have the energy to work five hour days. The study, which was carried out by Boots, states that the average employee loses 151 minutes a day through tiredness, and in fact, many people only wake up fully 45 minutes into the day!
The research among 4,000 office workers in the UK indicates that many people fall into a lull at around 2pm after taking a 32 minute lunch break. The research shows that this slump can last an hour and 14 minutes. This means that employees are productive for just 5 hours of the working day.
So, why is this the case? The average worker survives on a diet of tea, coffee and snacks, and many people fail to take a proper lunch break away from their desk. So a simple diet and lifestyle change can help to reinvigorate workers. But increasing stress levels can make it difficult to maintain energy levels.
The are many other factors which influence productivity at work. If you are not happy at work, it can impact on your motivation and how much you enjoy your job.
So what could you do differently to enjoy your job and jump out of bed in the morning?
How would you like to be motivated all day in your job?
What three things could you do differently today to help you to be more productive at work?
