LONDON, April 7, 2022 / PRNewswire/-New research revealed that 72% of office workers in the UK said they would prefer a four-day working week, offering the same salary with the same amount of work needed. Individuals and some businesses have embraced diverse flexible working models over the past two years, leading to the view that a four -day work week is a real possibility.
Ang ‘Changing the habits of a flexible workforce in 2022 and beyond‘ research, of Smart Locker Provider Velocity Smart Technologyinvestigates how offices will change in 2022 and how business leaders can support more diverse and asynchronous work practices.
More than half (52%) believe productivity and creativity will increase if their organization starts four days a week.
Anthony LamoureuxCEO of Velocity Smart Technology, said, “Although there has been debate about the productivity impact of flexible working over the past few years, this research confirms that employees are confident in their abilities to do the job, even with a reduction in days of work. “
“The four -day week challenges the current work model and helps companies move away from simply measuring how long people have been ‘at work’, towards a sharper focus on the output being produced. business leaders and IT directors need to ask themselves if they can get more out of their teams in less time because they rest better? ”
Large technology companies are giving way, with those like Microsoft experimenting with a four-day work week. They found that by implementing shorter work weeks led to a 40% increase in productivity.
These changes will begin to show across the industry and provide a real glimpse into what the future of working life looks like.
Lamoureux continues, “The launch of the four-day-a-week pilot program in the UK represents an exciting moment of change for employers and employees. For a company to thrive in this new paradigm, it needs to change the support given to remote employees and make sure they are willing to give their all. “
