If you got to run around outside for a few minutes every day, maybe swing on some monkey bars or throw around a football would it make you a better worker? An outdoor footwear company called KEEN surveyed full-time American workers to find ways they could improve productivity. The answer: Recess.
53% of the workers surveyed thought that taking a 10-minute outdoor recess each day would make them happier, healthier and more productive. Two in five workers thought it would be a good way to reduce workplace stress. One in three thought it would make them more productive all day long. Nearly three in four workers said they'd never had a recess break at work. (--Where do the other one in four work?) Despite the fact that 53% thought it was a good idea, only 44% of workers say they'd actually TAKE RECESS if their company offered it. Women and young employees were most likely to say they'd take a recess.
