调查表明，员工都希望在夏季的周五拥有更灵活的工作时间，但现在很少有公司能够提供他们这项福利。

当被问及夏天最希望得到的福利这个问题时，39%的受访者表示他们希望能够拥有更灵活的工作时间；30%的受访者希望能在周五的时候早一点下班；18%的受访者希望能够在上班时穿的更随意舒适一些。10%的受访者希望公司能够举办一些野餐活动或者员工聚餐。

但是，那些曾经提供员工夏季福利的公司热情已逐渐减少。一些人力资源经理被问及"公司最希望提供给员工的夏季福利有哪些？"这个问题的时候，答案如下：

灵活的工作时间：62%，比2012年调查时降低了13%

着装的多样性：29%，比2012年调查时降低了28%

周五提前下班：20%，比2012年调查时降低了43%

聚餐或野餐活动：17%，比2012年调查时降低了11%

与此同时，人力资源经理还指出了一些员工在夏季时常见的消极工作行为：

考虑不周的度假计划：32%

意外缺勤：22%

过于随便的着装：19%

迟到早退：15%

工作期间开小差：12%

OfficeTeam的一位区域总裁Brandi Britton提到，当天气好的时候，员工们会在工作的时候分心，考虑其他事情，比如室外活动。聪明的公司会运用一些巧妙的手法来保持提高员工的士气和工作效率，比如，让员工自行调整日程，让他们在周五的时候早些回家，或者让他们在炎热的夏天穿着舒服一些。上述这些方法虽然简单，但非常得人心，并让员工保持对公司的忠诚。
