Almost every organisation that took part in the UK trial of a four-day week (92%) has decided to continue with a shorter working week, after the pilot saw a reduction in burnout, anxiety, fatigue and sickness absence.
Plans to give employees the right to request flexible working from the first day of their job have been confirmed by the Government, although no date has been set for its introduction.
Almost nine in 10 organisations trialling a four-day week with no loss of pay are likely to continue with a shorter working week beyond the six-month pilot.
