"Microshifting is an extreme form of hybrid working breaking down work into short, non-continuous blocks according to your personal productivity patterns or domestic requirements. How would that work in practice? You might concentrate on your job for an hour early in the morning, then play tennis until lunchtime. Or you might spend a whole Tuesday afternoon socialising, and work late into the night to catch up."
"I thought we were all supposed to be going back to the office full-time. That is, to an extent, still the reality: according to the report, office appearances are creeping up for hybrid workers 34% are in the office four days a week, up from 23% in 2023. How does that square with microshifting being the future? The microshifting trend is being driven by employees. The report says workers would willingly sacrifice 9% of their annual salary for more flexible hours. Wow."
Microshifting breaks work into short, non-continuous blocks timed to personal productivity and domestic needs. Workers might perform one hour of concentrated work early, then attend personal activities, returning later to complete tasks. The pattern accommodates childcare, medical appointments, shopping, exercise, and secondary jobs or side hustles. Nearly 30% of hybrid workers hold a second job. Many employees prioritize flexibility: 51% already schedule personal appointments during traditional hours and 61% of Gen Z do so. Some workers would sacrifice roughly 9% of salary for more flexible hours. Office attendance is rising for hybrid workers, with 34% in the office four days weekly, up from 23% in 2023.
