The first ever council trial of a four-day-week has been hailed as a success, with average employee performance improving.According to the Bennett Institute for Public Policy based at the University of Cambridge, which analysed the results, performance improved overall – with significant improvement in some areas.
As a result, an extension of the trial for a further year has been recommended to the council’s leadership, as well as a three-month trial for staff in the facilities management team and shared waste services.Nina Jorden, research associate at the Bennett Institute for Public Policy, said that “not a single KPI fell to a concerning level” during the trial.
“Performing four different types of rigorous data analysis, nine out of 16 performance measurements showed a significant improvement during the four-day week trial compared to the same period last year, and this is despite some targets being raised internally,” she said. “Overall, we saw an improvement on average across performance measurements during the four-day week. It is important to emphasise that not a single KPI fell to a concerning level during the trial.”We asked some of the UK’s pilot participants for their views.
