A six-month trial run by academics at the universities of Cambridge and Oxford will see staff from different organisations completing the same amount of work, and up to 35 hours a week, but spread over four days instead of five.
The pilot programme will be run in conjunction with academics, the UK 4 Day Week Campaign and the thinktank Autonomy. It is being overseen by 4 Day Week Global, a campaign group based in New Zealand, reports The Mirror.
The group is aiming for 30 UK companies to be a part of the trial - with six having signed a deal so far.
