4 Day
Working
Week
 
 
The
world's
biggest
trial
 
of
 
a
four-day
 
working
week
has been
hailed a success.
 
Most
 
of
 
the
companies
involved
say
they
would
 
continue
offering
 
a
shorter
week.
 
61
companies
across
several
sectors
 
in
 
the
UK
 
were
involved
 
in
 
the
pilot,
which
ran
for
six months
from
June
last year.
 
Employers
had to
make
sure
 
there
was
no
reduction
 
 
in
wages
for
staff
who
trialled
 
 
a
32-hour
week.
 
At
least
56
out of
 
the
61
firms
 
 
which
took part
said
they
plan
 
to
continue
 
with
 
the
four-day
working
week.
