And 83 percent of workers in the Yorkshire city have worked more than their contracted hours.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Glaswegians enjoy the earliest finishes, while those based in Leeds think they are the most sociable outside of work.<\/p>\n

And companies in Newcastle and Leeds came out joint top for being the most appreciative of staff and colleagues.<\/p>\n

Richard Smith, CEO of global flexible workspace brokerage Office Freedom, which commissioned the research, said: “Every city is different when it comes to the way its businesses operate.<\/p>\n

“It’s been really interesting to see how different areas of the UK vary, and how the nation feels about their workplace and its habits in general.<\/p>\n

“But it seems there are some parts of the UK where workers are happier than others.”<\/p>\n

The study also found those in Leeds consume the most cups of tea and coffee – an average of four cups a day.<\/p>\n

And Bristol workers take the longest lunch breaks, getting a solid 30 minutes each day.<\/p>\n

While Newcastle firms have the best childcare benefits, with 64 percent of workers in the north-east city believing their company is flexible and understanding when it comes to families.<\/p>\n

It also emerged two-thirds of all workers generally enjoy where they work, with the average worker typically taking part in two social events per month.<\/p>\n

A further 38 percent consider their colleagues as friends, with one in five (21 percent) enjoying their company outside of work at least twice a month.<\/p>\n

Since the start of the pandemic and introduction of flexible working, 72 percent now enjoy work more because of it.<\/p>\n

And a third are now taking longer lunch breaks when working from the comfort of their own home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite this, 51 percent reckon they are generally working more – with 49 percent going past their contracted hours on all or most of the days they work.<\/p>\n

Overall, two-thirds of workers feel their company has benefited from hybrid working, with 63 percent surprised at how they used to work in the office five days a week.<\/p>\n

As a result, nearly a third of those polled via OnePoll would be sad if the hybrid working model was scrapped, and a further 20 percent would feel angry.<\/p>\n

Richard Smith, from Office Freedom, added: “This new way of working is finally here – and it’s here to stay.<\/p>\n

“It has been on the cusp for a while, but it seemed the pandemic gave it the push it needed to move us into the future of hybrid working.<\/p>\n

“With companies trialling four-day weeks, flexibility is more important now than ever. I don’t think we’ll ever see the UK, or even the world, go back to old working habits, which is really exciting.”<\/p>\n
