There is a radio controlled clock at my former workplace. As I

I'll check the battery voltage but it does seem to me that the battery
life is disappointing. Should I fit a lithium primary cell?

no point, lithium primaries are a lot more money for more capacity. Let them replace the alkaline cell now & then. Tell them be grateful they don't need to wind it every day.

"Disappointing" is an extremely vague measure of battery life.

Yes it is but an entirely accurate representation of my assessment in
the absence of any available performance data.


I have to change the AA alkaline battery in my kitchen clock at least
every two years, so I try and remember to do it every new years day,
and then discard the old battery.

Try using AA alkaline batteries intended for running motors first
and see how long it lasts.
