All 17 companies in the UK trial of a four-day working week decided to continue with the model after experiencing benefits in employee wellbeing, mental health, and productivity. The six-month initiative, monitored by Boston College and organized by the 4 Day Week Foundation, included about 1,000 employees from diverse organizations. Participating businesses reduced working hours without pay cuts. Post-trial, 12 companies adopted a permanent four-day week; five opted for a 'nine-day fortnight.' Improved metrics included reduced burnout and heightened employee satisfaction.
