The 9-to-5 grind is giving way to a new norm: the 7-to-7 hustle. According to Bevi, known for its water coolers in 25% of Fortune 500 companies, there's been a notable shift in office hours.
More employees are starting their workday at 7 am, a 25% increase compared to pre-pandemic times. And they're not clocking out at 5 pm either. This trend hints at a desire to maximize in-office productivity, perhaps to stand out or dodge rush hour madness.
As co-founder of AllBright, Debbie Wosskow OBE, notes, visibility matters. The era of 9-to-5 may be fading, replaced by a more flexible, round-the-clock work ethos.
