The vast majority of companies taking part in the world’s largest trial of a four-day week have opted to continue with the new working pattern, in a result hailed as evidence that it could work across the UK economy.
Of the 61 companies that entered the six-month trial, 56 have extended the four-day week, including 18 who have made it permanent.
The findings will be presented to MPs on Tuesday as part of a push urging politicians to give all workers in Britain a 32-hour week.
How cool, it works!
Great, so no need to make it the law then is there? Simple competition among those who do it and those who don’t will make the thing that works the standard.
The only argument in favour of making it a legal requirement is that it doesn’t, in fact, work.
