And what is your theory? That it’s better to not save those 2 hours since they will just go to waste anyway? Or that there is diminishing returns to saving work as people will tend to just spend longer on other things they were already doing? How can you be sure those 2 hours will not actually be used by most to do very productive things that in the end look like +4 hours in return??
No. I am not saying that it is a bad idea to do this.
I am saying:
Given you have saved two hours per person per week
Then the value for the company is _not_ equal to two hourly salaries per week. The consequences are just not that simple.
