How much energy do you have at work this week?

Here at Eden one of our main focuses is helping businesses feel more energised and productive. To find out how energised the nation feels at work, we decided to run a UK-based survey asking one simple question:

“How much energy do you have at work this week?”

Respondents were asked to answer on a 1 – 10 rating scale (where 1 is feeling very unmotivated and 10 is feeling very productive).

Here is what we found out:

• Over half (51.5%) of UK respondents are running on half a tank of gas! They answered between 1 and 5 on the scale, therefore are not feeling very energised or motivated! Perhaps they are not drinking enough water.
• Men answered higher on the scale than women: 5.7/10 versus 4.8/10.
• The most productive region in the UK is Northern Ireland with respondents answering an average of 6.2/10.
• The least motivated region is North West England with respondents answering an average of 4.3/10.
• The young ones (people between 18 and 24 years old) are the least motivated of the bunch, answering 5.4/10 on the scale, whereas people aged 35 – 44 answered the highest at 5.9/10 on the scale.
