New four-day working week trial kicks off for workers across UK
Briefly

"We are excited to offer this new benefit to those employees at the BSI who choose to participate, and hope that this will further enhance our working culture, providing staff with the opportunity to improve their work-life balance and making us an even more attractive employer," said Dr Doug Brown, chief executive of the BSI.
"Of course, it is vital that the quality of service we provide to our members is maintained, and we will regularly review this throughout the pilot to make sure we continue to provide the full coverage of offerings and high-quality customer service that our members rely on us for."
In a previous 4 Day Week Campaign trial last year, the vast majority of companies said that business performance and productivity were maintained. Revenue stayed much the same, rising by 1.4% on average.
Notably, employee stress and burnout plummeted, with 71% of employees reporting lower levels of burnout. Levels of anxiety, fatigue, and sleep issues also fell while mental and physical health both experienced improvements.
