A Tasmanian automotive business says its workers are 'enjoying the additional days off' after adopting a four-day working week, as calls for the model grow across the nation.
The automotive business welcomed the model to its staff across their six dealerships in Tasmania - Hobart, Burnie, Devonport, Launceston, South Launceston and Derwent Park.
"We believe our employees who have opted in to the four day work week are enjoying the additional days off," she told Skynews.com.au on Wednesday. "The hours have not changed in a long time so we do need to adapt our mindset on the working week in order to attract the top 20 per cent of the labour market."However within each dealership, some workers are continuing to work over five days as they prefer the earlier finishes.
"The business hours have extended from 8am until 6pm which means reception staff need to have the work in a technicians bay by 8am to maximise productivity," she said.
