Working hard/hardly working? | Sex, laundry & shopping among top things Brits have done while remote working

Remote work has been one of the biggest adjustments for employers in the UK, with managers needing to trust their staff to get on with work more than ever.

For some businesses this has proved difficult, and many companies are now attempting to get their workforce back into the office, citing a lack of productivity as the main reason.

With trust being at the forefront of remote work, it may be surprising for employers to find out what staff are doing around their work duties. A new survey has revealed that 77% of workers have said they’ve done ‘something they shouldn’t have’ during work hours, including one in ten respondents who said they have sex when they should be working.

Out of respondents who admitted to having sex during work time, 17% were under 35 years old compared to 9% of those between the ages 36 and 54 and 2% of those over 55, indicating that younger people are more likely to have sex during work hours.
