One hundred companies in the UK have signed up to a four-day working week for its employees with no loss of pay.
It means that 2,600 staff members will now benefit from a new work pattern that could include a three-day weekend. Supporters of the scheme argue that workers will be just as productive than if they were on a five-day working week.
Two of the biggest companies to sign up to the scheme include global marketing company Awin and Atom Bank, who employ 450 staff in the UK between them. Awin's chief executive, Adam Ross, said the four-day working week was "one of the most transformative initiatives we've seen in the history of the company".
