The cost of British workers skipping lunch revealed

Following the Christmas break and the struggle to get back to routine – you’d think employees would be jumping at the chance for their hour-long lunch break.

However, only one in five actually take a full hour; and failing not to costs businesses £50million, according to data from Savoystewart.co.uk.

The commercial property agency conducted a survey on 250 individuals from twelve micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to find which professions are most and least inclined to take a full lunch break.

They found digital marketers took a measly 14-minute break, followed by recruiters and telesales employees. Media and communication professionals, on the other hand, took around 55 minutes.
