Tork Takes Back the Lunch Break!

Tork is on a mission to Take Back the Lunch Break. Why? According to Gallup, only one in three employees are engaged at work. Because engagement impacts productivity, happiness and job satisfaction, it’s time employees and employers across North America stepped up to the plate – the lunch plate that is.

  • New Research

    Tork, an Essity brand*, conducted a North American study of employees in various workplaces, which shows that those who take lunch breaks are more likely to feel efficient at work and satisfied with their jobs. And nearly all (93 percent) of North American bosses think employees should be encouraged to take a lunch break. 

    This is why we created the “Take Back the Lunch Break” campaign – to help improve workplace morale, satisfaction, and productivity across North America. 

    *in partnership with Jennifer Deal, Senior Research Scientist at the Center for Creative Leadership and Affiliated Research Scientist at the Center for Effective Organizations at University of Southern California (USC)

  • Celebrate in Philadelphia!

    To celebrate Take Back the Lunch Break Day in our headquarter hometown, Philadelphia, we’re offering free lunch to the first 100 locals who tell us why it’s important to #takebacklunch in the middle of their workday. Follow the hashtag to learn more!

Fresh thinking needs fresh air. According to a Gallup poll, only one-third of employees report being engaged at work. But according to a recent study commissioned by Tork, the answer may be in the lunch break. The survey reveals that when employees take regular lunch breaks, they feel more satisfied, engaged and productive at work. In fact, employees who regularly take lunch breaks are seven percent more likely to say they are productive than those who don’t. That’s like taking their work from an A- to an A+.

Spread the word and encourage employees to step away from their desks for lunch by downloading any of these posters.
