MORE than half of all workers feel that the introduction of 24-hour pub licences will cut productivity for UK organisations, according to new research by recruitment website reed.co.uk.
Over 8,000 people were surveyed, to examine the relationship between drinking and work.
While workers across all sectors feel that 24-hour drinking will adversely affect the workplace, those in retail and distribution fear the worst impact, with 56 per cent of employees in these areas predicting decreased productivity with the introduction of 24-hour drinking.
