The UK is testing a four-day work week.

June 7, 2022

More than three thousand employees from 70 companies are participating in the experiment. The experiment is carried out according to the "100:80:100" model. This means that the British will receive 100% of the salary, reducing working hours by up to 80%, but maintaining 100% productivity. The productivity and well-being of employees will be monitored by scientists from Oxford and Cambridge for six months. The results of their study will show whether the 32-hour work week is effective. Prior to this, the short work week was tested in Iceland for four years. It turned out that the productivity is the same, there is more happiness, and less burnout.
