People who work four days a week are actually getting more done, experts say
Four day working week IS more productive, study finds
- A trial of the four-day working week in the UK saw all 17 participating businesses opt to continue the scheme permanently.
- Nearly 1,000 employees were involved in the trial, retaining their full salaries, with 62 per cent reporting a reduction in burnout.
- Companies cited improved customer satisfaction and employee performance as key reasons for continuing the reduced work week.
- Experts suggest that while a shorter week can boost efficiency and attract talent, its wider economic impact depends on maintaining productivity per hour.
- Challenges remain regarding potential pay implications, logistical issues like staggered days off, and aligning with client operating hours.
