A six-month long trial has been launched in the UK to see if the 4-day working week really is better for businesses, their clients and of course, employees. The pandemic has certainly changed the way we work with companies that thought they would crumble working from home thriving, with staff logging in digitally, whilst others have overturned their whole approach to the traditional 9-5.Business owners are far more open to being flexible and offering employees more freedom.
The trial comes after a campaign was launched, claiming a shorter working week is better for employee motivation, productivity and welfare, all of which contribute to a more successful business. But is this really the case?
Essex based marketing company, Verriberri have been working a 4-day week for the past two years, with employees choosing which day off they wish to take. Their MD, Saurah Kauter has won numerous awards for her trailblazing management strategies and dedication to staff welfare.
If you’re interested, she would be happy to provide you with a case study, discussing why she implemented the new approach and how she has seen profits, retention and productivity change as a result. Contact Corporate Culture for your referral.
