LONDON - David Brent's much-ridiculed dance in "The Office" may not have done much to enhance his status as a manager but a lively work environment can do wonders to enhance job satisfaction, according to a survey on Tuesday.
Research conducted by Microsoft and the non-profit organisation the Work Foundation indicated that a majority of British workers felt their office resembled a "graveyard".
Only 11 percent said their office was a "creative environment", while a third labelled their workplace uninspiring.
Nearly two-thirds cited friendly colleagues as a top thing they looked for in a job, showing that the social pull of an office environment was a key element in work satisfaction, the research said.
The survey was carried out among 1,081 office workers across Britain.
