Job Search Engine TipTopJob.com Surveys Workers On Motivation

    SLOUGH, ENGLAND, February 23, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- During the long dark winter nights, the office may seem like the last place anyone would want be. However, those big black clouds may just have a silver lining after all, be it a naughty nibble of your favourite chocolate bar, an invigorating session at the gym or simply a cup of coffee, there are plenty of ways to ensure a little winter pick-me-up, as a survey for job search engine TipTopJob has found.

TipTopJob.com, an international jobs board, surveyed 1000 people to find out what they do to pick themselves up and keep motivated during the winter months. The job search engine's findings show that workers from the Midlands are the naughtiest, the Southeast are the healthiest and simply a change in outfit helps lift the mood at work in the North.

According to the job search engine's results, it appears that waistlines have been expanding this winter in the Midlands, where the majority of people need a little sugar boost to get them through the working day. They find their pick-me-ups in the form of biscuits, sweets and anything else naughty they can get their hands on.

Surprisingly, the majority of the rest of the UK (Wales, Scotland and the North of England) would rather drink coffee, eat healthy snacks, go to the gym or wear bright colours - anything other than indulging in a couple of biscuits on their coffee break.

Online jobs board finds Londoners enjoy pre-work workout

It seems there's no rest for the wicked when it comes to living the London lifestyle. The survey by the job board shows that people from London and the southeast find that a pre-work workout is the thing most likely to keep them alert and motivated, whatever the weather.

The Welsh also engage in a relatively healthy working day. Although a morning gym session was only the third most popular pick-me-up, the workers of Wales find snacking on healthy foods such as fruit and nuts is enough to keep them going for the day.

Finally, there appears to be a divide between the North and the South of England when it comes to wardrobe choices. Those in the North East and North West find wearing bright colours to work can lift their mood more than any food, drink or exercise does. However, results from the South East and the South West show this to be the least popular pick-me-up, with only 13.5% and 15.2% respectively bringing a little colour into their lives.

As a job search engine with job boards covering every industry in every region of the UK, TipTopJob is perfectly placed to take an accurate snapshot of the behaviours and habits of the UK workforce.
