Trouble with the staff? Bring back the tea lady

August 16, 2007

Tea and cakeAccording to a survey by recruitment company Office Angels, most workers yearn for a return to the workplace of yesteryear with a tea trolley and work outings.

When asked what office traditions they would love to bring back:

  • 39% (unsurprisingly) said taking a full hour for lunch
  • 33% said they wanted an annual work outing,
  • 29% wanted a subsidised canteen
  • 26% opted to bring back the tea-trolley lady

There are some new office traditions that workers want to get rid of, with more than half fed up with the long hours culture and the habit of eating lunch at their desk.

What workplace tradition would you like to bring back or get rid of?
