The length of working hours doesn't always correlate with productivity. This is evident from a study by the 4 Day Week Global (4DWG), an organization that promotes employee well-being.

In 2022, the organization initiated a six-month trial of a four-day work week with a three-day weekend. Approximately 70 companies in the UK participated, involving a total of 3,300 employees.

The results showed that 46% of respondents stated their business productivity remained stable during the trial. Furthermore, 34% reported a slight increase in productivity, and 15% reported a significant increase.

Overall, 88% of trial participants rated the four-day work week with a three-day weekend as beneficial for their business. Additionally, 86% intended to continue this work pattern after the trial concluded.

"This trial has been incredibly successful for our company. Productivity has remained high, team well-being has improved, and our business financial performance is up 44%," said Claire Daniels, CEO of Trio Media, a trial participant, as quoted in a 4DWG press release (September 21, 2022).

"The 4-day week trial has transformed us. We're delighted to see the productivity increase," said Sharon Platts, Chief People Officer of Outcomes First Group, another participant.

The 4DWG trial involved small, medium, and large businesses across the UK. Participants came from diverse sectors, including education, consulting, information technology, automotive, retail, telecommunications, construction, food and beverage, and digital marketing.
