Founder and managing director of 4 Day Week Global, Charlotte Lockhart, joins Business Extra host Kelsey Warner this week to share the results of the world’s largest trial to reduce working week.
Ms Lockhart led the trial with dozens of employers and thousands of employees in the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.
The results showed that reducing work time doesn’t affect productivity of employees, highlighting that some companies were able to reduce official work hours by 20% without decreasing their pay.
It also revealed a significant decrease in rates of stress and illness among the approximately 2,900 staff who participated in the shorter working week.
