Nearly one-half (48%) are happy to tap out a short reply over coffee before finding a more suitable working environment for more considered responses. In addition to cafes, 46 per cent of professionals will check emails while commuting on public transit, although only one-quarter will send out a quick response while on the go.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/c2.staticflickr.com\/2\/1485\/24795592536_037af97d2e_b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most would agree that busy caf&eacute;s and bustling trains are poor environments for intensive work such as checking and approving documents. In fact, fewer than one-in-ten say they will carry out core work duties or make conference calls while in a coffee shop. Privacy is a key concern, with workers avoiding sensitive calls and emails on-the-go because being away from the office in a non-professional environment is simply not suitable for work tasks that require time or sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;With wifi available nearly everywhere, it&rsquo;s convenient to stop at a coffee shop and skim through emails on a smartphone,&rdquo; said Wayne Berger, VP of Regus Canada. &ldquo;While a coffee shop may serve its purpose for a quick burst of caffeine while staying connected, it simply isn&rsquo;t the best place to get work done, other than sending quick email responses.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<em><strong>Perform<\/strong> content is delivered to you by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techvibes.com\/job\/global\" target=\"_blank\">the Techvibes Job Board<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are coffee shops the best place to conduct business?
