It’s Not Just Workers that Can Benefit From a Four-Day Week, a Trial Suggests | News Channel 3-12

  • A national trial involving 17 British companies tested a four-day work week for six months between November 2024 and April 2025 across nearly 1,000 employees.
  • The trial, managed by the 4 Day Week Foundation, aimed to assess how reducing work hours from five to four days affected productivity and employee wellbeing, following earlier similar trials.
  • All participating companies chose to continue with the reduced work week following the trial, maintaining performance and customer satisfaction while experiencing significant benefits such as decreased burnout and enhanced mental health.
  • Joe Ryle, director of the 4 Day Week Foundation, said the trial had a "100% success rate" with workers "happier" and businesses "thriving," while Bron Afon CEO Alan Brunt noted teams united quickly to make it work.
  • The trial’s success suggests most organizations may adopt a four-day week in the next decade, as it supports productivity gains, better worker wellbeing, and sustainable business performance.
