Over half (52%) believe productivity and creativity would increase if their organisation introduced a four day week.

Anthony Lamoureux, CEO of Velocity Smart Technology, said, "While there has been debate about the impact on productivity of flexible working over the past couple of years, this research confirms that employees are confident in their abilities to get the job done, even with a reduction in working days. "

"The four-day week challenges the current model of work and helps companies move away from simply measuring how long people are 'at work', to a sharper focus on the output being produced. Business leaders and IT directors need to ask themselves if they could get more from their teams in less time because they are better rested?"

Big technology companies are paving the way, with the likes of Microsoft experimenting with a four-day working week. They have found that by implementing the shorter workweek led to a 40% boost in productivity.

These changes will begin to manifest 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 week pilot programme 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 evolve the support provided to remote employees and ensure they're equipped to give their all."
