Read previewA four-day workweek reduces staff turnover, improves employee mental health, and saves money, according to the largest public sector trial held in the UK. On Monday, academics at two British universities — Cambridge and Salford — released their findings from a 15-month trial of a shortened working week. It is the largest public sector trial of the four-day workweek held so far in the UK, involving 697 employees, including office and waste workers. The number of external applicants for open roles also greatly increased, with 76% reporting the four-day week trial as influencing them to apply for open positions. The US, Canada, Ireland, and Germany are among the countries that have trialed the shortened working week.

Read previewThe vast majority of companies that took part in a massive UK trial of a four-day working week are still on the reduced schedule more than a year later, researchers said Wednesday. 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.
