Interesting research has found that social media and chocolate are almost par and par when it comes to the thing that people give up for lent. Chocolate and sweets are still the most common thing to give up (18%) followed by social media (14%).
When it comes to lent, people give up the thing they feel they are most addicted to, a habit they want to kick or the thing that they feel is not good for them. It could be anything, not just something you eat or drink but also something you do. It is interesting now in 2018, that people are choosing to give up social media - something that has sadly taken over most peoples work and social lives. We do hope that individuals start to realise the negative effect social media has on them and start to retain some self-control over their daily usage.
There were plenty of other options on our list when it came to what people give up at lent. Here are some of the other results....
Caffeine - 6%
Alcohol - 5%
Smoking - 5%
Meat - 3%
Crisps - 2%
On the other hand, 47% of our respondents to this research said that they are not giving up anything !
Have you given up anything so far?
Have you kept to your promise?
Are you giving up anything different to the list above?
We would love to hear from you! Share below....
In our latest survey we discovered that 46% of colleagues are able to talk freely and openly to each other whilst at work. Not only that but they feel no restriction on when or where they can have an open natter and at any point throughout the working day, personal discussions happily take place.
36% felt that they could talk openly and freely to their colleagues too but they needed to limit this to out of working hours only. Work hours equal work.
Finally, only 18% of respondents felt they could not talk to their colleagues about personal matters. Colleagues are kept at a professional arms length at all times!
So, which category do you fall into? If you are one of the 36%, do you find yourself emailing and texting each other because of the restrictions in place within working hours or are you simply too busy to even consider a personal discussion?
