Ms Margaret Cox:

I thank the Deputy for his great questions. We have found that the increase in productivity is happening automatically. I might remind everyone about what happens in a week with a bank holiday. We all get our work done in that week, regardless of the fact that we have had one fewer working day, because we are more focused, we have more energy and we have come in happier to work, so we have a greater output. That is the focus. It does challenge organisations but the technology is now there for any organisation to measure how a job is done, what the inputs into it are and what is needed to ensure the outputs. We are a service organisation, not a tech organisation. Across the board in many organisations, not just in tech, a four-day working week might be a solution for people in managing productivity. It is important to remember that the ask and the reward are that in exchange for continuing to maintain 100% productivity, there will be an additional day off in people's lives every week in order for them to do something with it for themselves, their family and their community.
