“We feel really encouraged by the results, which showed the many ways companies were turning the four-day week from a dream into a realistic policy, with multiple benefits,” said David Frayne, research associate at University of Cambridge, who helped lead the team conducting employee interviews for the trial. “We think there is a lot here that ought to motivate other companies and industries to give it a try.
That’s just what Platten’s fish and chips restaurant in the English seaside town of Wells-Next-The Sea has found, especially in the hospitality industry where people often work seven days a week. They constantly communicated with employees to find what worked best, which was having the staff split into two groups, allowing one group to work two days on, and other to have two days off, she said.
Revenue grew 1.4 per cent over the course of the trial for 23 companies that provided adequate data — weighted for the size of the business — while a separate 24 companies saw revenue climb more than 34% from the same six-month period a year earlier. Of the companies, 92 per cent reported they would continue with the four-day workweek, with 30 per cent saying it’s a permanent change. That includes Platten’s, which said it’s sticking with the model permanently.
Instead of 8 hrs a day they just do 12 x 4 days and it’s the same !
No, this will lead to less pay justification.
And I would hope, less pay...
