Office friends and social networks are actually in decline. It has been found that 3/4 of UK employees not longer socialise with their colleagues or peers outside of office hours.
The online recruitment firm, Monster, surveyed over 1500 people and found that over 1/3 of the people asked “never” socialised with their work colleagues and only 25% did so on an occasional basis.
Some people have blamed the increase in flexible working hours and increased number part time workers for this downturn, others just believe that the focus on work life balance that is gripping the nation has led to people focusing on other forms of activity outside of office hours, most of which are home based.
