Flexibility feedback | Morrisons scraps 4-day week at head office after complaints from staff

Morrisons has scrapped its four-day work week model at its head office, following staff complaints about the operating model.

The supermarket giant had been running the shorter working week at its HQ in Bradford since 2020, reducing the weekly hours of corporate employees from 40 to 37.5.

However, the reduced weekday schedule meant that staff were required to work a Saturday shift once every four weeks, reportedly a strategy designed to help head office staff support the firm’s supermarkets during their busiest trading times.

It was a catch that many employees were unhappy with, prompting them to raise concerns with management.
