A six-month trial testing the costs and benefits of a four-day working week across a number of different businesses has ended in success.
Sixty-one employers across the UK took part in the trial, and were all keen to permanently implement the new work pattern upon its completion.
A report assessing the impact of the alternative working hours found it had “extensive benefits”, particularly for employees’ well-being.

4 day working week is a great idea don't listen to these Muppet ministers saying not to do them at the end of the day the government control to much of what the people do and companies take too much time away from hard working people when we all want to spend more time with the people that truly matter to us our loved ones ….Pro 4 day working week!! Why are humans rushing around and working so much?? Who do we do this for none other than greedy money orientated companies?
you do not know, what you are saying: a 4-day-week can never be more productive than a 5-day-week. This is mathematically impossible!
This is only possible in the case, if the employees have not worked full 5-days of the week. They might be in the job place 5 days of the week, but they have not worked 5 days.
as long as i can miss a day of school
pay them 20% less and its a great idea
or donate 20% your wage to the poor yeah, be the best you can be
Man we need this in the US
Who would've thought
dude I've talked with a bunch of managers trying to get our schedule changed to to 4 10 hours instead of 5 8 hours, the idea isn't even being considered seriously. Blows my mind, also Nevada USA
What about people who work in labor
Its amazing how so many can live in a bubble.
How about healthcare workers? Can they work a 4 day week ? Who is gonna cover all the shifts? There are too little workers as is.
This is basicly only possible in specific branches that honestly, dont do much most of their day.. thats why its possible.
Ha! Been doing this since 2006. An extra 52 days a year off, who would want that. However, I do work a compressed work week. 35 hours a week in 4 days. More time for kids, Mountain biking, snowboarding, and general slacking around. Just one thing, don't get the government involved. They'll screw it up for sure.
❤ the concept.
Those management department , working on salary , the less time the better.
Will never take off, the UK is driven by greed.
Yes we need 4 working days
