have been longing for someone else to make their hot drinks for them in the
office round.

Being able to leave work at the office at the end of the day, “free” heating and
a decent internet connection also featured in the top 30 things loved most about
the office.

It also emerged that 35 percent believe they are more productive working from
the office, as they can collaborate with colleagues and focus more easily.

And the survey, commissioned by Nespresso Professional, also found six in ten
admitted their colleagues are the best thing about working in an office.



Sir Cary L Cooper, professor of organizational psychology & health at ALLIANCE
Manchester Business School, who is working with Nespresso Professional, said:
“These research results highlight how working in the office is here to stay,
with employees still valuing the office space and the benefits that come with
it.



“Being in the office and working directly with colleagues is really important
for wellbeing, team building and increasing team spirit.

“It’s clear that since the beginning of the pandemic, people have missed
face-to-face interactions that working in the office used to provide on a
regular basis.

“There is no doubt that hybrid working is becoming the “norm” and enables
employees to get the benefits of working from home and in the office.

“This flexible approach to working is something that should be embraced by
employers, and employees should be encouraged to provide feedback on how they
would prefer to work in the future.”

The study also found the average office worker is now going into the office
three times per week as life begins to get back to normal post Covid.

In their younger years, more than a quarter always wanted to work in an office
when they grew up as they thought it sounded fun.

And 62 percent believe it is as fun as they thought it would be.

As a result, a third would describe more than three of their co-workers as
proper friends after having met them in the workplace.

It also emerged 76 percent think its important to have a mix of personalities in
an office, with “the moaner” - who is always complaining about something, the
most common character to have around.

Nearly half (47 percent) have a “wise owl” in their office - someone who has
been there ages and knows everything.



Meanwhile “the barista” - someone who is always offering to make hot drinks - is
hardest to come by, appearing in only 18 percent of offices.

A third of those polled, via OnePoll, consider themselves to be an “office
personality”, with “the go to” - someone who can solve any problem - being the
most relatable sort of character.
