Employees would rather return to the office for a four-day workweek than have five days of hybrid work, a survey shows
About two-thirds of British professionals said they would rather return to the office every day in a four-day week rather than have a hybrid five-day workweek, according to a March 17. For the survey, Hays polled about 11,889 employees and employers across the UK from February 6 through February 20.
And employers seem to agree — about one-third would be more likely to consider offering a four-day workweek if employees came to the office daily. While just about 5% of survey respondents said their companies have introduced or are trialing a four-day workweek, an overwhelming 92% of those on the trial said the shorter workweek had a positive impact on their home lives. People typically spend their extra day off doing household chores, running errands, taking part in leisure activities, or spending time with friends and family, per the survey.
On top of that, just under 90% of survey respondents said a four-day workweek could improve employee mental health and well-being. About two-thirds of those surveyed even said they would be tempted to join another organization should it offer a four-day workweek.
