Cambridge: In the UK, 61 organisations made a commitment to a 20 per cent decrease in working hours for all employees during a six-month period beginning in June 2022. Additionally, the clear majority of businesses kept their full-time productivity goals. With 71 per cent of employees self-reporting lower levels of "burnout" and 39 per cent stating they were less stressed, data from the largest four-day working week trial in the world show dramatically lower rates of stress and illness in the workforce.
