Hybrid work has blurred the boundaries between professional and private life. In fact, findings from Microsoft suggest that about one third of employees are logging on in the evening between 9pm and 10 pm to finish their working day. This new working pattern is known as the “triple peak day”.

Despite many workers now heading back to the office, the working week will never be the same as before the pandemic. A new workday pattern is taking shape, gradually replacing the traditional nine-to-five rhythm with two peaks of productivity during the day, before and after lunch.
