Emeritus Prof Christopher MayAs more firms shift to a four day week (with no loss of pay), will others' scepticism of the advantages in terms of productivity & staff satisfaction start to change their minds?Certainly, 5000 workers shifting to a four day week is a drop in the ocean, but if this is a permanent move (not just a pilot) then this may start to see an (albeit) slow shift; it will be interesting to see whether offering a four day week becomes a recruitment issue?<a href="https://zirk.us/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/FourDayWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FourDayWeek</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/money/2025/jan/27/two-hundred-uk-companies-sign-up-for-permanent-four-day-working-week" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/money/2025/jan/27/two-hundred-uk-companies-sign-up-for-permanent-four-day-working-week</a>
