Newcastle company Evolved Search has announced a permanent switch to a four-day working week following a successful six-month trial.
The city centre digital marketing agency has been trialling the scheme with its 58 staff since last August, hoping to provide employees with a better work-life balance and increase productivity to deliver better results.
Throughout the trial run, the agency regularly asked for feedback and made changes to make sure it would be the right long-term decision. It has made the change permanent after its team said they were satisfied with the new working pattern, saying it has improved their personal wellbeing, work-life balance and overall job satisfaction.
