#takebacklunch
There has been an increasing trend to take less frequent and shorter lunch breaks, impacting employee morale and well-being. According to Gallup, only one in three employees is actively participating at work. Employees and employers across North America must step up to the plate, because engagement affects productivity, happiness, and job satisfaction. The lunch plate that is!
According to a 2017 report conducted by Tork, an Essity brand, employees who take lunch breaks are more likely to report being efficient at work and content with their jobs. When starting a new job, nearly 99% of employees believe that taking a lunch break is the most important. However, for more than half of North American employees, the average lunch break is less than 30 minutes – barely enough time to buy a meal, let alone enjoy it.
That's why Tork created National Take Back the Lunch Break Day to help increase workplace morale, satisfaction, and productivity in North America.
