VisitUK's Largest Public Sector Four-Day Week Trial Shows Significant Benefits, Major Study Finds
Jul 8, 2024, 10:47 AM
The largest UK public sector trial of a four-day week has shown significant benefits, according to recent research. The trial, conducted by a British council, indicated improvements in work-life balance and public service delivery. The findings suggest that employees were more productive and satisfied with their jobs. A major study found the impact of the four-day week on both employers and staff to be positive. Senior cabinet members have previously endorsed the move away from five-day weeks, and the 4 Day Week Campaign is advocating for a nationwide trial. The council is now seeking to convince the Labour government to extend the experiment.
