    The campaign, kicked off in Germany at the end of 2023, by organisation 4 Day Week Global, gained significant traction in Spain, the UK and Portugal in previous trials, and preaches a ‘100-80-100’ concept. This means employees will retain 100% of their salary, work 80% of the time, but contribute 100% of their output still. A whopping 73% of the companies trialled plan to stick to the new weekly schedule, with the remaining 27% either making minor tweaks or yet to decide.

    Fantastic. Now I am waiting for the UK to follow.

      Am I blind or does the article not indicate how many companies trialled it?

      Also, this alone would significantly improve my job satisfaction:

      Reports from the trial showed that the frequency and duration of meetings was reduced by 60%, which makes sense to anyone who works in an office – many meetings could have been a simple email.

      There was a similar article floating on lemmy yesterday (or the day before) on how 60 UK companies experimented with a 4-day workweek and that 54 decided to keep it.
