“How can C-suite leaders improve both their employees’ and their own wellbeing?” Deloitte partnered with Workplace Intelligence to find out.

The world’s biggest trial of the 4-day week comes to an end. These are the results.

The 6-month UK pilot project across a variety of sectors ended last December. It was run on the model that workers get 100% of salary for 80% of their previous working hours in exchange for a commitment to maintain 100% of their productivity. The results have been very favourable with over 90% of participating businesses opting to continue with the 4-day week. Perhaps unsurprisingly, reductions in the percentage of sick days taken and reported levels of burnout were noted in the results.
