"The four-day week seems like it has been coming any day now for years. But for
some 3,000 employees in the UK, it will soon be a reality - at least for six
months.

Sixty UK companies and organisations have signed up for the biggest ever
four-day week trial, which will start in June and end in January 2023.

The trial is being organised by 4 Day Week Global, along with the think tank
Autonomy, the 4 Day Week Campaign, and researchers at Cambridge University,
Oxford University and Boston College who will be collecting and analysing the
results.

The researchers will work with each organisation to measure the impact of the
reduced hours on productivity, and the well-being of its workers, as well as
the impact on the environment and gender equality.

Those taking part will work one day less a week while receiving the same pay."
