When is the last time you took 30 min (or even
an hour) to step away from your desk and eat lunch? If you are like most
people, it has probably been awhile. In fact, a study by Right Management
showed that only 1 in 5 people step away for a midday meal. The other 4 people
are staying static and eating at their desks. In the fast paced world we all
work in, the pressure to perform and be as efficient as possible leaves a
majority of us working every second, with no time for a meal. However, several
studies show that this habit is actually crippling our creativity,
productivity, and innovation.
In an interview with Kimberly Elsbach, a professor
at the University of California, regarding workplace psychology, she states
that, “Staying inside, in the same location, is really detrimental to creative
thinking.” Elsbach goes on to explain that this static work environment
inhibits the brain from fully cycling through and arriving at an “aha!” moment.
In today’s economy, a business’s success is highly dependent on its employee’s
ability to produce innovative, productive ideas.
Does your workplace culture involve a majority
of people eating in the same place that they work? Elsbach claims that to make
a change, management needs to “create a community around the idea.” Delafield
