WalesOnline readers have given their views after 70 companies announced they will trial a four-day working week with no loss of pay. Affecting more than 30,000 workers, organisers say it is the biggest four-day week pilot to take place anywhere in the world.
Firms taking part will give full pay to workers for 80 per cent of their time in exchange for a commitment to maintain at least 100 per cent productivity. The trial is being organised by 4 Day Week Global in partnership with think tank Autonomy, the 4-Day Week UK Campaign, and researchers at Cambridge University, Oxford University and Boston College.
Companies taking part provide products and services including education, consultancy, banking, care, financial services, IT software training, professional development and legal training plus housing, automotive services, online retail, homecare, skincare, building and construction recruitment and digital marketing.
