Instructions
In  the  US  in  2016,43  per  cent  of  employees  said  they  had  spent  at  least  some  time  working  remotely.  We  like  these  freedoms    but  are  they  good  for  business?  Andrew  Barnes  thinks  so.  In  late  2017,  he  read  that  workers  were  properly    for  only  a  few  hours  a  day,  so  he  decided  to  experiment  with  a  four-day  working  week  at  the  trust  management  company  he  founded  in  New  Zealand.  The  idea  was  that  employees  would  focus  more  to  get  their  work  done  quicker,  and  get  a  paid  day  off  in  .  And  they  did  indeed  get  the  same  amount  of  work  done.  Economist  Helen  Delaney  at  the  University  of  Auckland,  who  surveyed  the  staff,  says  they  felt  rested  and    upon  returning  to  work,  which  enabled  them  to  sustain  the  higher  performance  during  the  trial  period".  She  says  the  exercise  has    significant  interest  from  trade  unions  and  government.
