How would you like a three day weekend?

A pilot scheme in the UK found that working four days a week makes workers more productive.

The study also lowered the amount of sick days people take by 65%.

The scheme involved 2,900 employees across 51 firms and it found that staff reached 102% productivity levels by working 32 hours across 4 days.

The 56 companies that took part in the pilot have kept the 4 day week - with no change to pay!

This is because staff reported lower levels of stress, anxiety and burn-out.
