Back in 2018, The UK’s Trade Union Council (TUC) called for a four-day maximum work week as part of its report into how changes to the current and future workplace can best benefit its employees.
This came after survey findings revealed that a majority of its members expressed favouritism towards a sorter working week, with 45% of respondents in agreement. In addition, 81% revealed they would want a reduction of at least one day.
Now that employees across the UK have been forced to work from home, after the UK PM imposed a nationwide lockdown in order to help prevent the spread of coronavirus, once again questions are being asked about how the working week may change in the future.
For example, in a recent Fast Company article, the Co-Founder of San Francisco-based software company Monograph, revealed that the organisation has been practicing a four-day working week since it was founded.
