What do you think about a flexible work day?
In a bid to encourage staff to take a break from their screens, Kellogg's is offering Friday afternoons off work.It offers office-based employees the chance to finish work from 12pm on a Friday, or on a weekday of their choice for field sales teams, provided they have completed a full week’s hours.
The company also has meeting-free Friday afternoons which it says has encouraged a culture of flexibility. Kellogg’s UK employs more than 400 employees at its office in Salford and has a further 50 employees in its field sales team. The scheme is part of a wider package from Kellogg’s aimed at supporting employees’ mental and physical wellbeing. Staff are offered in-house training to be able to support colleagues who may be struggling.
Chris Silcock, head of Kellogg’s UK, said: “We have a long history of offering flexible working and summer hours is a great way to encourage our people to take time away from their desks.”
