A Global Overview of the 4 Day Week: Incorporating new evidence from the UK

15 Feb 2023

Work-time reduction has long been promoted as amultiple dividend reformwith the potential to bring about social, economic and climate benefits. Last November, 4 Day Week Global clearly demonstrated this to be true with the results of the world’s first coordinated pilot program for a 4 day week. Today, we are delighted to expand that data set with the results of the world’s largest coordinated pilot program for a 4 day week. This short report summarises the UK’s experience, where 61 companies and approximately 2,900 workers signed up to trial a reduced work week over six months based on the 100-80-100™ model – 100% of the pay, for 80% of the time, in exchange for a commitment to delivering 100% of the output.
