The founder of a successful recruitment company is advocating for five-hour days and four-day weeks, saying the COVID-19 pandemic proves we’re able to adapt to new ways of working.
In a piece for Forbes, senior contributor and Wecruitr founder Jack Kelly said last year’s lockdowns “shattered the myth” we need to be in the office every day.
He says it’s “high time we confront other work taboos as well” – including the requirement to work eight-hour days and five-day weeks.
Kelly urges employers to consider carving three or four hours from each work day, or a day off a week. He also advocates for flexible work schedules that allow people to come and go from the office when it’s most convenient for them.
