British companies trialling a four-day working week have mostly decided to stick with it after a six-month pilot in what campaigners for better work-life balance view as a breakthrough.
, according to Autonomy, a British-based research organisation which published the report alongside a group of academics and with backing from New Zealand-based group 4 Day Week Global. Staff said their well-being and work-life balance had improved while data showed employees were much less likely to quit their jobs as a result of the four-day week policy.
For some employees surveyed, the extra day off was more important than any pay rise: 15per cent said no amount of money would induce them back to a five-day week.Companies from the marketing and advertising, professional services and charity sectors were most represented in the trial. Some 66per cent of those participating had 25 or fewer employees, while 22per cent had 50 or more staff.
