The hidden life of the UK office worker revealed

How many cups of tea do you drink each day? How long do you spend looking over emails or answering the phone?

A recent survey of 2,000 employees by Avery UK, looked into the everyday life of the average British office worker, uncovering some rather interesting statistics. The study found that the average office worker will drink 24,684 cups of tea, fall out with colleagues 479 times and send 400,816 emails during their working lifetime.

Marketing Director for Avery UK, Fiona Mills, commented on the findings, saying: “It’s fascinating to see just how much people experience throughout their careers. It may be quite an eye opener for office workers as they may not realise quite how much time they’ll spend doing individual tasks or the number of times they’ll do them.

“In particular, it’s staggering to see how much time is lost to simple things like being disorganised and not knowing where essential items are.”
