Some eight out of ten employees take less than 30 minutes for their lunch break, with 44 per cent eating lunch at their desk every day, according to new research. In a study undertaken by Reed Employment, 55 per cent of respondents said there was no culture of taking a lunch break at their place of work, which may be of note to graduates. Catherine Maskell, brand manager for Reed Employment, said: "A picture of office life is emerging from our research that is unhealthy and unproductive. "While long working hours are fast becoming the norm in most offices, the failure to take regular breaks is bad for employees' health, productivity and safety." She added that workers need to "shake off the guilt" but that employers should also "actively encourage" their employees to exercise and socialise with colleagues. "In doing so, they will end up with a healthier, happier and more productive workforce," she concluded. Pareto - Graduate Media Sales Jobs with the UK's largest Media companies earning up to £35k OTE
