The report comes as a follow-up to results published from the largest-ever trial of a four-day working week completed so far.
The trial involved about 2,900 workers, and took place from June to December 2022, with companies maintaining existing levels of pay.
How the reduced working time was put in place varied from company to company, the study said.
Ahead of the trial, companies committed to a two-month preparation period that included workshops and mentoring, as well as support from companies that had already made the move, the study said.
