MyHotels® Announces Permanent Move to Four-Day Workweek With Three-Day Weekends: Providing Increased Employee Satisfaction and Major Increase in Productivity

MAKKAH, Saudi Arabia, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MyHotels™ (https://www.myhotels.sa/) recently announced it was shifting to a four-day workweek, after having tried the hybrid model as a cost-saving, efficiency measure beginning in March of 2021. MyHotels® quickly noticed a sharp increase in productivity and employee satisfaction along with reduced operational costs related to a decrease in electricity and other utility consumption in just a few months. Citing multiple studies that outline the benefits of the reduced workweek, including reduced employee stress, increased quality of work, and employee retention, MyHotels® plans to continue using the new model indefinitely. MyHotels® is the leading Saudi online travel agency (OTA), which has recently created a popular no-hassle Umrah travel package for customers seeking to enter Saudi Arabia on pilgrimage.

"What we've discovered is that when we trust our employees to get the work done in a shorter amount of time, they actually work harder and smarter," said Emad Alabbas, CEO of MyHotels®. "We noticed our staff is more creative, more punctual, and more productive in general. A four-day workweek focuses their attention more effectively and creates a better sense of work-life balance. Employees report lower stress and higher engagement scores – our staff is just happier and much more motivated. Judiciously reducing working hours has been a good decision, and we aim to continue giving our employees more time to spend with their families."
