Joe O’Connor, Pilot Programme Manager for 4 Day Week Global, said of the trial: "More and more businesses are moving to productivity focused strategies to enable them to reduce worker hours without reducing pay.
“We are excited by the growing momentum and interest in our pilot program and in the four-day week more broadly.
"The four-day week challenges the current model of work and helps companies move away from simply measuring how long people are ‘at work’, to a sharper focus on the output being produced. 2022 will be the year that heralds in this bold new future of work."
Scotland and Spain have also launched trials like this and research has shown that shorter working weeks makes employees more productive.
Microsoft trialled a four day week while suffering no pay loss in their Japanese office, claiming productivity went up by 40 per cent.Explore more on these topics:
