A Welsh employer has announced it is implementing a four-day working week for its staff as it wants to prioritise their health and wellbeing and continue to build its "positive and inclusive workplace culture". Camlas, based in Cardiff, said it was Wales' first public affairs company to introduce a four-day week, and hoped the new way of working would help staff keep a successful "work-life balance" and thrive "both professionally and personally".
A spokesperson for the company said it had seen the results of four-day working week trials undertaken at other companies across the UK and realised that having a reduced working week "significantly boosted employee morale" and increased their productivity and job satisfaction, but decreased employees' stress levels.
They added that the company's move to a four-day working week was just one of a range of employee benefits which helped promote employee wellbeing, including things like flexible working arrangements, mental health support and ongoing training and development opportunities.
