The world's biggest trial of the four-day working week has been hailed a 'major breakthrough' after it found it leads to happier staff, fewer sickness absences, and more revenue for employers
Gary Conroy, the firm’s chief executive, told PA: “We’re trying to run a profitable, productive company and we believe that one of the ways of doing that is by having higher employee engagement and happier members of staff.One of the first major companies to make the move to a four-day working week was digital bank Atom, which made the switch in November 2021.
Anne-Marie Lister, head of people at Atom bank, said: “As an early adopter of the four-day week, it is wonderful to see the number of businesses who have now chosen to make the shift permanent, with pressure clearly growing on the Government to challenge the traditional working structure. Dr David Frayne, a research associate at the University of Cambridge, said: “We feel really encouraged by the results, which showed the many ways companies were turning the four-day week from a dream into realistic policy, with multiple benefits.”
