Why is it important to take breaks at work?

Work is all about productivity. Without it, nothing would get done and our jobs wouldn’t be around for very long!

Be it weekends, holiday leave or pockets of time throughout your day, we need regular breaks from work in order to power our productivity. When it comes to those work breaks throughout the day, there have been many studies on their relationship with productivity. All agree that 1) work breaks are essential, and 2) they have to be taken regularly to be effective.

This is because our wellbeing is underpinned by regular breaks. Taking time out of our busy lives to invest in ourselves is fundamental to feeling better in our minds and bodies.

Regular breaks aren’t only crucial to producing good work, they’re crucial to feeling great while working, and gaining more time and energy for the things you love away from work.
