Productivity | What annoys staff most at work?

New research by Yell has found that the ‘wrong’ office temperature tops the list as the biggest workplace annoyance – and costs UK workers 16 minutes in lost productivity per day.

23% of workers revealed being cold at work as the biggest pet peeve, with chilly workplace environments affecting more women (28%) than men (18%).

The study ranked poor internet connection as the second biggest office irritation with one in five citing this as immensely frustrating. Unclean working environments aggravated 18% of UK workers and was the third highest gripe. Mark Clisby, CMO of Yell commented:

“While it can be difficult to get the right balance at work, it’s important that harmony is achieved to ensure your team is productive."
