Introduction
Banner has undertaken an in depth study into the
way the UK works today.
We questioned 127 people working in 28 different
business sectors to create a detailed picture
of working life in the UK today. Participants
worked in a wide variety of professions including
procurement, education, healthcare and media.
Questions covered the complete working day,
from workload to socialising with colleagues.
We’re delighted to share the full results of the
research with you in this special report. We’ve
also produced a infographic which is available
from our website.
