A Glasgow company has shortened its employees’ working day to just six hours.

Senshi Digital’s owner Chris Torres was inspired by a Scandinavian model aimed at boosting wellbeing and efficiency, which he saw on a documentary.

His workers say they feel ‘much more productive’ since the work day was reduced.

The employees work from 9.30am until 3.30pm, with a mandatory half an hour lunch break where they have to leave their desks.

Shortening their day by two hours was a weird experience to begin with, but they all soon got used to it.

A little bit of extra time has meant they can indulge in some hobbies and spend more time with family.
