Women at work are more than twice as likely to be asked to make tea or coffee for everyone than men, a poll claims.

The survey of 2,000 UK employees found gender-biased language and use of stereotypes is widespread within workplaces, with 42 per cent of women claiming they will be asked to make a round compared to just 16 per cent of men.
