Wake Up Calls With Water -Boost Employee Productivity With a Shower!

A shower during the working day, however improbable it may seem, may be the answer to boosting employee productivity.

That's the conclusion of a new study, which involved four businesses - a restaurant, an architect firm, an advertising agency and a lingerie company.

Surfing the Net Between Office Hours Improves Concentration, Productivity
Working at your comp and surfing the internet for a few minutes each working day can actually boost concentration and allow a person to be more productive.

All the firms took part in the eight-week study, conducted by PR firm Lucre.

In addition to their usual daily wash, staff took a shower break - and results showed improvement across a range of areas, from mood to productivity, reports The Telegraph.

The study found that employees taking shower breaks at the four businesses - ad agency Home, in Leeds, restaurant The Chancery, in London, architects and designers 3s, in London, and Simone Perele UK, a lingerie company in Surrey - saw an overall boost in productivity and creativity of 42 per cent and 33 per cent respectively.

Employees Productivity Increases With Office Grapevine
Workers who gossip between tasks, not during them, are more productive than those workers who remain isolated, says a new US research.

Lucre said that during a control period of four weeks, staff recorded how they were feeling throughout the working day. Then, workers spent a further month taking a minimum of one shower break a day, while filling in questionnaires rating among other criteria if they felt more productive or creative.

Sam Walsh, an employee at Home who participated in the study, said: "I found that showering gave me some peace and quiet, being away from the ringing phones in the office was great for mulling over ideas.

"I even came up with a great new TV ad idea for one of our clients while I was in there. As well as helping me get a fresh perspective on things, I also found it a great pick-me-up on the days when I felt tired."

Nicholas Patterson, general manager of The Chancery, said: "Our hardworking staff members are on their feet for long shifts in what is a hot and hectic environment.

Working Alone is the Key to Great Perfomance at Work
Working alone might be the key that enhances productivity says a new study. Colleagues could slow down your perfomance, even if their work is not related with yours.

"Shower breaks made sure they took time away from the restaurant to refuel and freshening up their feet with a shower also offered them physical benefits which made them work more effectively in the restaurant."

Lucre conducted the survey for client Mira Showers.
