A new four-day working week pilot involving nearly 1,000 workers demonstrated a 100% success rate among 17 participating companies. All companies opted to maintain the shorter week post-trial, which lasted six months. The initiative, organized by the 4 Day Week Foundation, allowed organizations to uphold service levels while simultaneously improving employee wellbeing. Findings revealed that two-thirds of workers experienced reduced burnout, while improvements in mental health were reported by two in five participants, and nearly half felt more satisfied in life.
The six-month trial began last November and was organised by the 4 Day Week Foundation. Participating companies maintained service levels while enhancing employee wellbeing.
Almost two-thirds of workers registered a reduction in burnout while two in five found improvements in mental health and nearly half felt more satisfied with life.
A chief executive stated they expect most organisations to implement the four-day week within the next decade, indicating widespread acceptance of this working model.
Joe Ryle, campaign director of the 4 Day Week Foundation, remarked on the high success rate, citing happier employees and thriving businesses as key outcomes.
