"Video conference tech company Owl Labs released its ninth annual State of Hybrid Work report, finding that 65% are interested in "microshifting" - described as "structured flexibility with short, non-linear work blocks matched to your energy, duties or productivity." This method allows workers to do their work when they're most productive and not stress about personal productivity, reimagining the typical 9-to-5."
"Microshifting entails splitting work into chunks while knocking out unrelated chores and errands in the in-between time. Rather than sitting at a desk and toiling uninterrupted for eight hours, this method breaks up the workday into short, intense spurts of productivity. For example, maybe you go through your inbox, then pause to take the dog for a walk; log on early to get a head start, then take a break for a workout class;"
"Additionally, caregivers are almost more than three times as likely to prefer microshifting as non-caregivers. Gen Z and millennials are big fans of the microshifting idea, with nearly 7 in 10 sharing that they would prefer this work style. The report found that most employees were willing to give up 9% of their annual salary in exchange for flexible working hours - and 8% for a four-day workweek."
Sixty-five percent of workers express interest in microshifting, defined as structured flexibility with short, non-linear work blocks aligned to energy, duties or productivity. Microshifting breaks the traditional eight-hour workday into focused spurts separated by personal tasks, errands or breaks. Managers and caregivers are substantially more likely to adopt microshifting than their peers, and younger workers show strong preference for this style. Many employees would trade portions of their salary for flexible hours or a four-day week. Microshifting can enable better work–life balance by allowing tasks to be scheduled around peak productivity and personal responsibilities.
