The company reached CleverControl as our solution offered activity statistics, detailed activity logs and the functionality to monitor the work process in real time. Everything that could help reveal and fix any bottlenecks that might occur.
Of course, there were employees who had a hard time getting accustomed to the new schedule. For example, according to the pre-experiment monitoring data, one of the employees could focus on work only after lunch almost every day. Recently he began suffering from a lack of sleep. Occasional checks on his computer with Live Viewing showed that he was missing from his workplace in the mornings. He was fighting the fog in his head caused by poor sleep with countless cups of coffee in the office cafeteria. With a five-day workweek, he managed to maintain a more or less decent productivity level and meet most of the deadlines, but shorter labour hours hit his performance hard. After discussing his results with HR, the employee was offered a more flexible schedule with a later start. It helped to improve his productivity gradually.
Analyzing statistics gathered by CleverControl and other indicators, the company came to the conclusion that the transition to the four-day workweek did not cause a performance drop. Moreover, in some cases, it inspired more productivity because more free time served as a strong motivating factor and allowed more quality rest. Drawing the line, the company considered the experiment successful and implemented the short workweek on the regular basis.
