The results from s six-month trial in the UK run by the nonprofit 4 Day Week Global and the think tank Autonomy have proven to be a runaway success.
The experiment included nearly 3,000 workers at 61 companies and ran from June to December 2022 — making it the world’s biggest four-day workweek experiment to date.
Businesses say they’re seeing improved productivity, morale, and team culture, whereas individuals are reaping benefits for their health, finances, and relationships.
And about one in six employees in the study said no amount of money would convince them to return to five days a week.
4 Day Week Global and Autonomy have concluded that the experiment was a resounding success: 92% of companies say they’re continuing with the four-day week permanently (of the five companies not moving forward, two are extending their trials and three are pausing for the moment).
Read the full report as shared on their Twitter platform.
