Strategy

  • Workforce calling for more hybrid and remote working opportunities

  • Forward thinking MD got in touch to understand how it would be possible without increasing the hours per day or compromising quality of service for the same cost

  • We thought we could do better than that

Boost recruitment and employee well being

It has always been true but in a world of low cost options and AI, it is more prominent than ever that the only real unique competitive advantage a business has is its people.​

​

To attract and retain the best skills our client wanted to offer more flexible working patterns. We thought we could stretch that and move to a four day week​ as long as there was no change to the workforce pay.

​

They knew compressing the weeks hours into 4 days would negatively impact their employees well being. This was not an option.

​

It was also unacceptable that there was any adverse affect to the service level provided to Customers.

​

Could it be done?

​

We showed that by understanding the true meaning of productivity we could reduce the actual work burden on the employees by greater than 30% - more than enough to reduce the working hours in the week by 1 day.

​

As the workforce were happier, the productivity increased further and the level of service improved as a result.

​

A side benefit being the reduced costs and environmental impact of employees not travelling to and working in a fixed place of work.
