NEW YORK, April 7, 2022 / PRNewswire/-New research revealed that 77% of U.S. office workers say they prefer a four-day work 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 Providers Velocity Smart Technologyinvestigates how offices will change in 2022 and how business leaders can support more diverse and asynchronous work practices.
More than half (53%) believe productivity will increase within a four -day week, with only 1 in 10 (10%) of U.S. workers believing productivity may decrease.
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? ”
