Two hundred British companies have now made a four-day work week a basic player for all employees-without salary cuts-a step that supporters preach as a basic re-invention of the country’s work culture.
The latest numbers of the week’s Foundation for 4 days employ together more than 5,000 people, with charities, marketing agencies and technology companies among the most adopted people. Supporters argue that a pattern from Monday to traditional Friday is no longer compatible with modern lifestyles, with Joe Ryle, director of the Foundation’s campaign, in Egypt that “the work week from 9 to 5 days has been invented 100 years ago and is no longer fit for the purpose.”
Ryle added: “With more than a 50 % spare time, people give people for four days people freedom to live happier and more satisfied. Also, hundreds of British companies and one local council have already shown, it could be a week for four days without losing wages a victory for each of Workers and employers.
Marketing, advertising and public relations companies lead these fees – 30 of which have already adopted the policy – followed by 29 charity, NGOs and Social Welfare, and 24 in technology, information technology and programs. It also committed 22 commercial companies, consultations and management of management companies. In all, 200 companies decided to maintain a short schedule, saying that it enhances both the retaining and productivity of employees by re -focusing work in less hours without sacrificing production. London is the most enthusiastic area, with 59 of these workplaces in the capital.
However, the direction highlights the broader tensions around the culture of work after birth. Many UK employees are still trying to secure more flexible or remote arrangements, while prominent American companies-including JPMorgan Chase and Amazon-released some of the most removed return to the office. It is said that the Lloyds Banking Group, near the home, weighs the amount of personal presence that affects employee rewards.
Resentment has already resigned in some circles. At Starling Bank, a group of employees left after the CEO demanded a greater presence in the office. Meanwhile, many of the great action figures-especially the Deputy Prime Minister, Angela Rainer-have indicated personal support for a week for a period of four days, although the party has avoided adopting it as an official policy since it reached power, and perhaps cautious against igniting partisan discussions.
Research conducted by Spark Market Research indicates that younger employees are particularly invested in canceling time tables for a period of five days. Of the 18 and 34 years of children surveyed, 78 % believe that the work week for four days will become the base within five years, and 65 % do not want to return to the full -time office life. The administrative director, Lensi Carrolan, notes that mental health and well -being in general are leading this shift, saying that younger workers “do not intend to return to old action patterns” and a brief week offered as a great promotion of the quality of life.
