A Bristol-based environmental organisation that moved to a four-day week a year ago says the decision has helped improve productivity within the business as well as boosting the physical and mental health of staff.
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.
