When asked whether these employees could actually make it through the workday without taking part in these distractions, only 35% admitted that they could. And of the 65% who couldn’t bear to make it through the day without taking breaks with these distractions, over half said that these things make the workday “more bearable,” so their productivity following these breaks was actually increased.

Well, according to the UK-based environmental consultancy, implementing a permanent four-day workweek has caused productivity to increase by 22% and absenteeism to decrease by 66%. Not to mention the fact that job applications are up by 88%, and employees have reported feeling happier and less exhausted during the week.
