Change the standard working week to 4 working days
Encourage UK Buisness to take on a 4 day work week.
Microsoft’s 4-day work week test in Japan boosts productivity by 40%.
Japan Is however a extremely overworked country but doing this not only improved work rates but also improved the physical and mental wellbeing of all staff who took part.
It's a proven fact this provides multiple benefits as these 4 day work weeks have been tested by Microsoft in Japan
Also 250 staff at Perpetual Guardian tookpart in this trial with a 8 hour 4 day work week but getting paid for 5. Offices around the country reported lower stress levels, higher levels of job satisfaction and an improved sense of work-life.
Perpetual Guardian adopted 4 day work week as the norm due to the renown success.
