The report states that just three in ten employees take a lunch hour, and the impact this is having could well be significant as almost half feel their productivity levels plummet in the afternoon around 3pm and as a result lose almost forty minutes of their day due to this dip.
Taking an entire hour for lunch can often be difficult however taking breaks at regular intervals throughout the day can help employees stay alert and focused.
By using an attendance management system employees are encouraged to clock on lunch and breaks throughout the day. Reports can be viewed in real time by line managers to ensure their employees are taking the necessary time in a day to recharge their batteries helping productivity levels to stay high.
Employees will also feel motivated as they feel their employer is ‘looking after their health’. A high motivation level leads to a healthier employee, higher productivity, high attendance and significant savings for the company.
