Ah, the bank holiday weekend. A break followed by a four-day week. Lovely. Time to relax, sort life admin, and have time spare for a beer or two.
But what if every week was like this? It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. While remote working has had much attention during the pandemic, the concept of the four-day working week is also gaining prominence.
Spain recently announced a large trial of the concept in September, with the government promising funding to cover any costs encountered by the hundreds of participating businesses. In the United Kingdom, a range of companies has been awarded a “gold” rating for their efforts by the 4 Day Week Campaign group.
