Flexible working hours and enhanced holiday management could bolster UK workers’ productivity

A recent online survey of 10,000 British workers conducted by holiday rental company Optima Villas has found that a more flexible approach to working hours, as well as enhanced holiday management would bolster their productivity.

More than a third of employees answering the poll – and 53% of 55-64 year olds – admitted a more flexible approach to working hours would boost their productivity levels.

While 66% of survey respondents said they’re happy with their holiday allowance, 29% of British workers said a few extra days off each year would improve their productivity.

Moreover, a fifth of respondents believe time away from the office would enhance employee productivity, and that longer breaks throughout the working day would help them stay focused on the task at hand.

This is something respondents in the North East feel particularly passionate about, with 46% of those surveyed saying extended breaks would help them stay motivated.

Nick Ball, Marketing Manager at Optima Villas, said: “It’s understandable that Brits believe more holidays throughout the year would make them more productive at work. Sometimes we all just need time away from the office to recharge the batteries – and a week in the sun never hurts!”
