'Growing momentum' | 100 firms make four-day week permanent after pilot scheme

Thousands of UK workers will be making a permanent switch to a four-day work week after their firms completed a trial period of the scheme.

Around 100 firms, employing approximately 2,600 employees, have made the switch after taking part in a pilot programme in 2022, testing the impact that one less working day per week (without any reduced pay for staff) would have on productivity and morale.
