If we move to a four-day week as standard I hope we do it in a flexible way, so that some people don't work Monday, some people don't work Tuesday, etc.

I acknowledge that could be difficult to manage in some industries (e.g. trying to get eight people together in a meeting), but it means that traffic would be lowered each working day, as well as people being more spread out when attending leisure activities (i.e.not everyone goes to the beach on a Saturday).

This could potentially be mitigated by having some "common days" enforced. So maybe the whole company works monday and tuesday or something like that. Prefer putting smaller meetings on the other days (You should have at least 1 overlap day with everyone else assuming that everyone has weekends + 1 day of their choosing off) but for larger meetings those provide a high chance of finding a time.
