Amongst the many questions included in the recent 2016 UK Workplace Survey was a seemingly innocent question asking respondents to what extent they agreed with the following statement: “At the end of a typical day in the office, I feel energised.”
When the results came in, we discovered that just 33 percent of respondents felt energized at the end of a typical working day. “But who expects to feel energized?” I hear you ask. Perhaps you’re surprised that the number is even that high. The reality is, the majority of us are leaving the office feeling drained, and this is having a negative impact on our overall wellbeing, both physically and psychologically.
