How often should breaks be taken?

[Joshua Farrell]

When you work, how often should you take a break and what should you do while on break?

 

[Setho]

I believe that once tasks in an organisation is being given then you can allow your employees to take as much short breaks interval within the work period.

 

[Ghost1]

Breaks should be taken twice during the working hours in my own opinion. You can just sit or walk around you can do basically anything

 

[eLdavis]

Well it depends, personally I do not have a specific time or time table for my breaks. What I simply do is to set a target for myself and try my very best to achieve these target, after that I can rest Abit then come back to continue.

As often as possible, breaks help ease stress at a point. Also if this is observed with some appetizer it will really help greatly.

At the workplace where was employed last we only have one lunch break and that's it and at the break would only last for 30 minutes and you are off the break.

 

[Shaffy]

If someone works for 4 hours, a break of 10 to 20 minutes would be appropriate. It also depends on how intense the task is.

Most white collar jobs are less stressful than manual labour but require more brain power so they may need more breaks.

Seriously, you have a very good point here because the kind of job someone is involved in determines the number of minutes that the person really need to take as a break. If it's a very tedious work, the person really needs a higher number of time for a break.

Our brain needs some rest medically it is advisable, at least twice during working hours or once, resting is the best thing to do during break

 

[Blessedsam60]

Its advisable to take a break immediately as you are exhausted regardless of the number of times. Go to a a cool place like a seat out to catch some nice atmospheric conditions

 

[Kubiat-Abasi]

In an organization, there should be code of conduct. I would say twice daily; for tea break and lunch. During this period, you relax your nerves and even engage in healthy conversations which will widen your horizon. If you're an entrepreneur, you can leverage on it as you please. In all attention to worker's need, motivation, desires and expectations influence total workers productivity in a positive light.

 

[Sotherefore]

Normally I believe taking a break from work should only be done once a day in the afternoon and that is all. because about from afternoon there is no need to take a break for something else except something very important.

 

[Skysaint]

Yeah, one thing I have come in terms with is that life it's always about work work and work. Sometimes we need to take a break to even enjoy the ones we have made, one needs to create time for oneself

 

[Justin]

I don't have a full time job, I work on a part-time job with 1-2 hours work. I also post on forums and I spend just about 2 hours. I don't have the necessity to take breaks during my working hours.

[Setho]

I believe that the most important thing is to make everybody be aware of his or her role .after that then they can take as much break as they think is okay for them to relax.

I am of the opinion that at work break should be taken just once and it should be lunch break so that people can have at least some rest in time before they can continue with their job.

Breaks should be lunch breaks not more than that cause, you are literally working a 9 to 5 job and should make use of the time as limited as it is wisely inorder to be productive.

 

[Blessingedidiong]

At work,breaks should be given for at least 30minutes. It is very necessary for break to be given to improve the productivity of workers. While working,the brain is active likewise all the sense organs so the break is needed to calm the brain and also allow the sense organs relax to avoid stress on the workers.

 

[Senator]

How often you should take a break while at work depends on the organisation setting for that time, but you should be entitled to one. What you do with your break time, Is entirely your personal business
