Research shows exact time most office workers hit a slump

OFFICE workers will be at their most productive at 10.22am and hit a slump at 1.27pm, a survey has revealed.

The afternoon then gets progressively worse, with a further lull at 2.06pm.

And nearly six in ten struggle to get through a day without feeling highs and lows of productivity.

Spending too much time in front of a computer, being interrupted by colleagues and not taking enough breaks were among the main reasons for not feeling constantly switched on at work.

The findings are from a poll of 2,000 people by rental agency Office Freedom.

More than half said they thrived around colleagues in the office compared with working from home, with nearly four in ten saying it helped boost productivity.

But noise levels, room temperature and colleagues asking questions were listed as the main drains on time.

Energy levels are at their lowest at the start and end of a typical working week.

And staff moan or imply they are tired three times during a typical work day.
