New normal | There's much more to flexible working than the 4-day week or working from home

Recently the media has been inundated with stories about the four-day working week. The discussion is not a new one, we are hearing more about pilot schemes introducing the working concept, but the implementation to the next level of flexibility is not so simple.

Organisations have adjusted to the changes to working life, which has opened the case for further shifts in how we work, although having said that.

Employer trust has increased as it has been shown that employees have integrated to remote working and adapted their working practices.

Those campaigning for the new “the four-day working week” mantra have been successful in getting their vision into the news. However, there is natural uncertainty as to how far-fetched the logistics could be, with doubt expressed towards how it could really work in practice.
