Summer Fridays are certainly a nice perk. But do they actually have a long-term impact on workplace culture?
According to a recent survey conducted by software company Wisetail, 63% of respondents said they struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder — depressive episodes associated with the weather — and while 80% of those who suffer from SAD said it affects the quality of work they put in at their jobs, 85% of those whose job offers Summer Fridays — which give employees permission to either leave work early or take Fridays off, depending on the company — said the perk makes them feel happier at work.
