(Commuters crossing London Bridge on their way to work)
One year after the conclusion of the world’s biggest trial of a four-day work week, a large majority of companies that took part were still allowing their employees to work a shorter week and more than half had made the change permanent.
For six months between June and December 2022, workers at 61 organizations in the United Kingdom worked 80% of their usual hours — for the same pay — in exchange for promising to deliver 100% of their usual work.
At least 89% of those firms were still operating the policy and at least 51% had made the four-day week permanent at the end of 2023.
At the end of the trial, employees reported enjoying better physical and mental health, greater work-life balance and general life satisfaction, and less exhaustion from work.
… and these improvements have been maintained one year on.
