In our recent double whammy survey, we asked if you had turned up to work “drunk” from the night before and secondly if you need stimulant drinks to get you through the working day.

The first survey looking into “drunk working” found that luckily 82% had NEVER done this. Unfortunately there were still 8% that do this on a regular basis and 10% that have done it once or twice. Once or twice is acceptably especially after a big work do, birthday or Christmas party. Do you know someone who falls into that 8% who regularly look bleary eyed and do you think it effects their work productivity?

The second survey asking about drinking stimulant drinks like red bull and monster at work found that a larger amount of people DO NOT drink them. 76% to be exact. However, 24% DO drink these caffeine/sugary drinks to help them get through the working day. Unfortunately, the people drinking these drinks will suffer from a number of side effects like shaking, agitation, dizziness, insomnia, headaches, palpitations and they have a dangerous ability to get people addicted to consuming them.

Our advice would be to keep those boozy nights to the weekend so you are not struggling to cope with a day at work and avoid those caffeine/sugary drinks that can spike your blood sugar levels and cause you to suffer from various other side effects.

Our most recent survey of around 1000 people over the last 2 weeks asked “When looking for a new job, where is the first place you would look?” The options we provided were; job board, recruitment agency, social network, friend network, direct, newspaper or jobcentre.

Most people clicked “job board” as the first place they would visit when looking for a new job, in fact 36%. “Recruitment agency” came in as the second most popular place to look with 24% of the responses. 13% would use their “social network”, 10% would visit their “jobcentre”, 8% would go “direct” to the employer, 7% read the “newspaper” and 3% said they would use their “friend network”.

We were surprised with the results as with so many more people using social networks today and with their increasing usage, we thought they would take more of the votes than a mere 13%. Recruitment agencies were two times more popular as a first choice and job boards almost three times more popular.

Where would you visit first? If it is a job board, then which job board is your number one?
