Run for the seventh year in a row, the week is intended to highlight efficient, flexible working practices which break the 9 to 5 mould.
Smarter working, as it's called, benefits employers, employees and the economy as a whole. It embraces ideas such as working from home, virtual meetings, flexible hours to allow commuting outside the rush hour, and the mobile office.
The Work Wise Week is run by Work Wise UK, a not-for-profit organisation partnered with bodies such as the TUC, British Chambers of Commerce and the CBI.
The week leads up to National Work from Home Day, on Friday 18th May. Employees and owners of businesses large and small are increasingly working from home, because electronic communication allows them to do so.
To find out more about smarter working, why not visit the Work Wise website? You might be inspired to try out some new ideas in your own business, and it could boost productivity and profitability.
