A Bristol organisation that switched to a four-day week a year ago says working a shorter week has boosted productivity within the business and improved the physical and mental health of its staff.
St Pauls-based City to Sea moved its 19 staff to a 32-hour week with no reduction in pay in September 2021. The organisation, which campaigns to reduce plastic pollution, confirmed the move after running a six-month trial and receiving positive feedback from employees.
Since adopting the policy, City to Sea said it had seen an increase in wellbeing and productivity among its workers, and a better work-life balance for staff.
