What employees expect from workplace hydration
In a bid to better understand the effects of hydration and single-use plastic usage in the workplace Waterlogic surveyed 6,300 full-time workers across Europe, Australia and America. Learn more about what we discovered to help promote healthier habits for a more productive workforce.
The war against plastic: who’s battle is it?
72% of respondents say their employer could do more to reduce single-use plastics in the workplace.
Mains-fed water dispensers are a more sustainable and convenient choice compared to bottled water coolers. Collaborating with staff on a strategy to reduce plastic waste can help to ensure positive engagement and maximise the impact of any actions taken. This survey showed that if your tap water has a bad taste or smell this can discourage workers from using the facility, and that there is clear demand for filtered water within workplaces.
66% of employees use single-use plastics when there is no access to a dispenser
31% of companies actually provide single-use plastic bottles for their employees
52% of employees are already using their own refillable bottles in the workplace
Staying hydrated and its impact on productivity
Our bodies are 55-60% water and we cannot survive without constantly maintaining these levels.
Hydration has a powerful effect on employee health, well-being and productivity. Three-quarters of the employees said that staying hydrated is important to them. Acting on this and improving access to water facilities could make a big difference to business. Not only do people see good quality water as having a positive impact on wellbeing, it’s also a simple way to meet the needs of staff.
