It is the enternal argument - should Friday afternoons be a serious, continue work, get things done until 5pm... or enjoy some relaxing time, catching up with workmates.
Obviously there are times when work must be done but there are others when the relax rule could be more beneficial ... again it depends on your brand, type of business and your location. If you are a bank teller it probably isn't a wise move to have a drink in your hand... but there could be innovative ways around this!
It is obviously up to each business but why force your staff to keep working just because it isn't 5pm yet! They are probably not being productive anyway ... Facebook viewing spikes on Friday afternoons, standing by the coffee machine is probably the same so maybe you could look at some ways to reward your staff for a good weeks work, a way that reinforces your brand with your staff!
Imagine a place that promotes a fun and entertaining brand and then treats their staff with a clock watching, no fun workplace!!! The customer will work it out pretty quick!! Is your brand being lived by your staff as well as your customer?
Just a thought as I head off for a drink!!!
