13th Dec 2022
What are the benefits of summer hours?
When summer comes around, people are usually more upbeat and want to spend more time socialising or being outside enjoying the sunshine. A full-time job can make employees feel like they are missing out, spending most of their time indoors, and it’s no wonder a growing number of people suffering from vitamin D deficiency.Happier employees
The sun makes us happier! Having more flexibility around work hours means that employees can enjoy the sunshine. And for us in the UK, we know that we can’t take the summer months and days with good weather for granted.Higher productivity levels
Happier employees equal more productive employees. Forbes published the results from one study that revealed happy employees are as much as 20% more productive in the workplace than unhappy employees.Improved work-life blend
It offers a better work-life blend by accommodating people’s lifestyles and understanding that the summer months are when most people have a more demanding social life.Improve health and mental well-being
Through sun exposure, the hormone serotonin is released - providing mood-lifting benefits. Not only can the sun help with mental well-being from depression and anxiety, it can also help alleviate skin and other health conditions.Greater flexibility
Offering greater flexibility, particularly for those who are working parents, summer hours are a game-changer. It means more time can be spent with the children, and more precious memories can be made whilst they are off from school over the summer months. For others, it could mean more time spent with loved ones, travelling or being outdoors.What companies offer summer hours?
