UK 4-day work week trial finds few going back to 5 days

None of the 2,900 participants in a study said they wanted to ditch the four-day arrangement, and 15% even said that no amount of extra money could make them return to five days. — Reuters

NEW YORK: The largest-ever trial of the four-day work week found that most UK companies participating are not returning to the five-day standard, and a third are ready to make that change permanent.

The study involved 61 organisations and about 2,900 workers who voluntarily adopted truncated work weeks from June to December 2022.
