The world’s largest four-day working week trial has just ended and almost all of the companies that participated have decided to continue with a reduced working hours model.
Participants in the trial agreed to produce the same output for the same pay, while reducing their hours to a four-day week. Revenues stayed largely the same across the 61 organisations (and 2,900 employees) that took part in the UK pilot, while employee wellbeing improved significantly, according to a report on the scheme.
