Recently, thousands of workers across the UK were given the opportunity to trial a four-day working week. The idea behind this is that workers will maintain 100% of their pay at 80% less time, in order to get 100% productivity. With the pandemic changing how we view the typical working environment, it’s a welcome change for those who are trialling it.

 At Store That , we want to help businesses seamlessly adapt should they choose to go down this route! In this week’s blog, we are going to discuss how our business storage in east London can help prepare your business to make the switch.

Hybrid Working

Since the pandemic started, many people have moved towards hybrid working, which has typically involved working some days from home and others from the office. Whilst your company may already be working hybridly, adding the four-day working week into the mix may further reduce your need for office space, or get rid of it altogether!

If this is the case, it is likely you will have other items in your office such as desks or other furniture that you don’t want to throw out or sell, but also have no current need for. This is where our business storage in East London comes in. We can store your items for a minimum of one month, with a rolling contract (till 14 days’ notice is given) allowing you the flexibility of the time you choose to store with us.

Storing Documents

In a growing company, having enough room in your office is paramount. This is something that may be hindered by the amount of documents you have. Any HR documents should be kept for a minimum of 5 years, but sometimes, this just isn’t doable with a lack of space. Business storage in East London can solve this issue. Our storage units are not only out of your office, but they are also secure, fitted with CCTV and an in-house security team, so you can be sure the things you need to stay safe, will stay safe!

Hot Desking

Hot desking is a term you may not have heard of, however, with the four-day working week, it is becoming more and more popular. This involves those on a rota or a shift pattern, allowing multiple users to use one desk at different times of the day. With people opting to choose the four day working pattern, some companies are letting their employees work Monday-Thursday and others Tuesday-Friday. This way, someone is in the office at all times and the company can still function to normality. This opens up the opportunity for hot desking and space saving, by storing those unused desks in business storage in East London!
