New research commissioned by
office specialists Fellowes reveals
that employees who can’t get
comfortable at their desk could be
costing their employer on average
£3279 per person per year in lost
revenue through time off sick and
reduced productivity.

70% of employees reported
spending an average 51 minutes per
day rearranging their workspace
and fidgeting to get comfortable –
that’s 24.4 lost working days per
employee per year from just
fidgeting alone!
