The United Kingdom has in recent years begun to test the new work model adopted in some countries with four instead of five working days a week.
More than 30 companies will test the model as a “new way of working in 2022,” according to researchers cited by the newspaper The Sun.
According to a new study, 78 percent of employees on this four-day-a-week program reported being happier and less stressed.
This model will be tested over the next six months to see if workers maintain 100% productivity 80% of the time so far.
Pay will be full, though less than one working day per week.
In Portugal, António Costa proposed this same working model – a proposal which, in the electoral programme, the PS undertakes to consider for certain regions – noting that it is an “essential debate in Portuguese society”.
