Résumé
'The best guide to increasing your, and most other adults', leisure time by 50%. With no serious downside' Professor Danny Dorling, University of Oxford'A four-day working week is long overdue and this book provides a crucial roadmap. One day, we will look back in horror at the fact we worked until we dropped.' Owen Jones, JournalistRising employers worldwide are switching to a four-day week, making workers happier and organisations stronger.
Written by the director of the UK's 4 Day Week campaign, this easy-to-follow guide shows how businesses, charities, and government organisations can reap the benefits of introducing smarter working. It takes anyone considering modernising their hours through the current academic evidence for the benefits of introducing a four-day week - with no loss of pay. It tackles: The productivity improvements that flow from more energised and focused staff The typical challenges faced in running a trial, including part-time workers and bank holidays The different approaches to introducing a four-day week, such as staggered and fifth-day stoppage The 4 Day Week Handbook features case studies from the British economy.
There are tips for improving business productivity and a resources section, with a list of academics and researchers who may be able to help. As the leader of the 4 Day Week Campaign in the UK, Joe Ryle has years of practical experience working with organisations that have adopted more flexible working. Explaining why companies are changing, he charts the changes in our working lives over time. At the turn of the 20th Century, workers routinely toiled for six days a week.
Then the Ford Motor Company invented the five-day working week, and the 'weekend'. Now, with longer commutes and more family members employed, the five-day working week no longer works for employers or employees. Stressed-out workers stagger home on a Friday evening and take the weekend to recover, while productivity stagnates. The 4 Day Week Handbook cites the evidence that shortening working hours provides major benefits for the health and welfare of staff - and employers.
During a trial involving 2, 900 workers at 61 organisations in the UK, sick days fell by 65% (improving productivity). Staff felt much more loyal to their bosses. Companies' revenue stayed broadly the same, rising by 1.4% on average. Almost all employers who piloted a four-day week continued operating one after the trial ended. The 4 Day Week Handbook charts the many benefits of working smarter, not harder.
Better work-life balanceA four-day week with no loss of pay gives workers the time to live happier and more fulfilled lives, allowing for those non-work parts of life that are often neglected: rest - sleep and physical, mental, social, emotional and sensory rest parenting -reducing the use of paid childcare leisure - spending time with family and friends and pursuing hobbies and passions 'Life Admin' - shopping, cleaning, managing household finances A four-day week with no loss of pay lowers the financial and environmental costs of commuting.
Reviews'The four-day week is an idea whose time has come. This is an invaluable guide to its benefits but more importantly how to introduce it successfully. It's a handbook to the future of work.' John McDonnell MP, former Shadow Chancellor'A must-read for anyone considering joining the four-day week revolution!' Claire Daniels, CEO, Trio MediaBuy the book and start reading
