Four-day working week trial sees a 100 per cent success rate
The six-month trial was organised by the 4 Day Week Foundation (Alamy/PA)
A six-month national pilot scheme for a four-day working week concluded with a 100 per cent success rate.
The trial involved 17 companies and nearly 1,000 workers, all of whom have now permanently adopted the shorter work schedule.
Participating organizations maintained service levels and key performance indicators, demonstrating no loss in productivity.
The pilot significantly improved employee wellbeing, with nearly two-thirds reporting reduced burnout and two in five experiencing better mental health.
Advocates like Joe Ryle from the 4 Day Week Foundation assert that the four-day week works and should be more widely implemented across the economy.
