That was all while companies reported revenue largely stayed the same during the trial period last year and even grew compared with the same six months a year earlier, according to findings released this week.
Not surprisingly, employees reported benefits, with 71% less burned out, 39% less stressed and 48% more satisfied with their job than before the trial. “Everyone is focused, everyone knows what they’re doing, everyone is refreshed," said Kirsty Wainwright, general manager of the restaurant about a three-hour drive northeast of London. “What it means is that they are coming into work with a better frame of mind and passing that on to obviously the clients and the public that are coming here for their meals. They’re getting a greater service because the team are more engaged.
The concept lets people work, have a day to do chores like cleaning the house and “then have two days off, seeing your friends, seeing your family, doing some stuff yourself," Wainwright said. “And that’s what this is all about — is actually just working to live and not living to work." For Platten's, “I don’t think we were really measuring it in terms of profitability," Wainwright said. “That’s not really it for us. We wanted to measure it in productivity. And actually, the productivity has gone through the roof."

Wow, shocker.

I would rather work 10-12 hours a day on a four day week . It’s worth the extra day off, same pay of course.
Why not do 3 days and run two shifts, or is there not much to do but social services stuff?
