Consultant T&T is considering asking its staff to work a four-day week if market conditions deteriorate, 黑洞社区 has learned

Directors have consulted senior staff to gauge what the response would be were the company to move to a four-day week, according to sources close to the firm.

Sources said no decision had yet been taken.

They said the move would only be likely if market conditions declined in the autumn. The source said: 鈥淭he questions directors have been asking their teams are: 鈥榃ill you volunteer if we need you to?鈥� and 鈥業s anyone willing to do this?鈥� It鈥檚 to know if there鈥檚 that option in the back pocket if things worsen.鈥�

The move comes after T&T chair Tim Wray pledged that the firm would not follow other QSs in enforcing salary cuts during the recession.

The firm has also separately said it would expand in India this year by doubling the number of staff operating in the country to 35 and looking to open offices in New Delhi, Bangalore and Pune, in addition to its office in Mumbai.

This follows a number of high-profile project wins in India, including a network operating centre in New Delhi for Bharti Airtel, the third largest mobile phone operator in the world.

T&T was unable to comment on the possible move to a four-day week.
