Tennyson Suite's Move to a 4-day Week!

Tennyson Suite is trialling a 4-day week for its employees from 5^th April 2022.

Due to a keen interest, the suggested benefits to employee well-being, increased productivity and the promise of a longer weekend, the senior management team has offered the Company’s employees the opportunity to trial a four-day working week.

Focusing on the Employee and Employer Benefits:

• Reduces the costs and emissions from the commute to work
• Increases the opportunity for employees to complete work outside of our customer hours (9am -5pm), therefore, maximises their work time without interruption
• Provides additional time out of the office, which allows for employees to pursue a more proactive lifestyle, has proven benefits to mental health, and generally assists with the management of stress; ultimately, contributing towards happier and healthier employees
• Allows for employees to feel more refreshed and committed on their return to work

Consultation and Freedom of Choice

Conscious that the proposed new working regime may not be for everyone, emphasis has been placed on the freedom of choice. Therefore, those team members who have commitments outside of work or who prefer the present working arrangements, can opt out, such that no team member is undertaking the working day in a manner that does not suit their schedule.

Uninterrupted and Unlimited Service for our Customers

By dividing the teams within the organisation, our clientele can always speak to a member of our team at every level during working hours, and no service provision is left without cover. Thus, throughout the trial period, the customer experience should not be inhibited by the 4-day working week at Tennyson Suite.

Management, Monitoring and Review

A three-month trial has been proposed. During which time, we shall be analysing monthly the reviews from our employees and their managers, as to the success, or otherwise, of the new working regime, prior to cementing the scheme to provide a better work-life-balance for the team.

Bring on the 3-day weekend!
