The Lunch Report
Why lunch at work matters
Can one meal really change the way people feel about work? That’s a question we wanted to answer, so we asked 1,000 workers to tell us when and how they eat lunch — and what impact that midday meal makes on their mental health, productivity, and overall happiness at work.
What we found is that 1 in 10 people don’t ever take a lunch break, but 78% of the workers we surveyed agree that breaking for lunch improves their job performance.
We also learned that there’s a generational divide when it comes to who takes lunch, and that many workers are missing out on health and wellness benefits by skipping their noontime meal.
What’s preventing people from breaking for lunch? And how can companies encourage their teams to stop and re-fuel?
