Nearly 4 in 5 professionals surveyed by global staffing firm Robert Half said they can make use of windowed work — the ability to break up their day into chunks of professional and personal time. Of them, 73% said the arrangement helps them be more productive, according to the results of the June 30 survey.
The arrangement is particularly beneficial to workers who have kids; 78% of those with children said windowed works help them increase productivity, while 66% of respondents without children agreed.
Workers older than 55 tended to prefer a traditional schedule (39%), compared to workers aged 41 to 54 (32%) and 25 to 40 (22%).
