Despite the rise of tech and new communication channels entering the workplace, ‘communication overload’ went bottom and was only chosen by 3% of employees as their most feared workplace horror.

Almost half of employees prefer finishing early as rewards. Other than that, a company bonus scheme (27%), perks in the office such as table tennis, free snacks and coffee (18%) and free beers on Fridays (6%) are also appreciated.
