MORE THAN HALF OF AMERICANS SAY THEY NEVER EVEN STEP OUTSIDE DURING A TYPICAL DAY AT THE OFFICE.

A NEW SURVEY OF 2,000 HYBRID WORKERS FROM WILD PLANET FOUND MANY SKIP LUNCH BREAKS ALTOGETHER OR EAT RIGHT AT THEIR DESKS INSTEAD OF GETTING AWAY FROM THEIR SCREENS.

THE STUDY, CONDUCTED BY TALKER RESEARCH, FOUND MOST WORKERS BELIEVE A REAL LUNCH BREAK IS IMPORTANT, AND MANY SAY THEY'D RATHER EAT OUTSIDE IF THEY HAD THE CHANCE.

SO... WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TOOK A REAL LUNCH BREAK?

Research methodology:

Talker Research surveyed 2,000 hybrid workers who have access to the internet; the survey was commissioned by Wild Planet and administered and conducted online by Talker Research between June 24 to July 2. A link to the questionnaire can be found here.
