Why hydration matters at work

Your body is made up of around 60% water and staying hydrated isn’t just about quenching thirst. At work, hydration plays a huge role in focus, energy, and overall wellbeing. Even mild dehydration can affect concentration, productivity, and mood.

Signs of dehydration at work

Fatigue and low energy

Feeling unusually tired, sluggish, or struggling to concentrate? Even slight dehydration can drain energy levels.

Headaches and dizziness

If you’re experiencing headaches or light-headedness at your desk, your body could be signalling a lack of fluids.

Dry mouth and thirst

Thirst is an obvious sign, but if you’re already feeling parched, your body is telling you it’s behind on hydration.

Top tips to stay hydrated at work

Start your day
with water

Before coffee, kickstart your system with a glass of water.

Keep a reusable
bottle nearby

Having water within reach makes it easy to sip throughout the day.

Hydrate before meetings

Saying sharp and focused is easier when you’re hydrated.

Balance with
herbal teas

Caffeine-free teas (like ginger or turmeric blends) add variety and hydration benefits.

Set reminders

Use phone alerts, apps, or even sticky notes to remind yourself to drink.

Pair water with breaks

Every time you get up from your desk, take a few sips.

Eat water-rich foods

Snacks like cucumber, melon, or oranges add hydration to your diet.

Refill with purpose

Each refill is a chance to pause, stretch, and reset. Turning hydration into a healthy habit.
