'Summer Hours Scheme' | Kellogg's UK gives employees Friday afternoons off work

Kellogg’s UK has announced that 2021 will mark the 18th year of implementing the cereal brand’s Summer Hours Scheme.

Running from May to September, the scheme allows staff the chance to down tools at 12pm on a Friday for office-based staff, or another preferable day of the week for its field sales team, provided that they have completed their allocated hours.

Kellogg’s noted, upon the announcement of the scheme’s return, that allowing staff to take more time on a Friday away from their work was particularly needed in light of the turbulent past 12 months.

The firm said: “After over 12 months spent working from home and as lockdown measures begin to lift across the country, Kellogg’s UK is encouraging colleagues to take that much needed break away from their screens by offering Friday afternoons off work.”
