According to this Guardian report the UK has, “quietly launched the four day week.”
Great!
Now it’s time to make things loud.
If we want a 4-day week for all, it needs to be codified in contracts, not done on the sly.
Benefitting from Soft Fridays? Time to make it official.

I'm all for this. A good work/life balance should not be purely the reserve of the wealthy. No-one should miss out on spending time with loved ones or doing things they enjoy just to pay the bills. Life is for living!
🚨NEW REPORT - The Evidence for a 4-Day School Week🚨
Teachers are burnt out and leaving the profession in droves.
The status quo isn’t working. It’s time to try something that might.
It’s time to trial a 4-day week in schools.

Congratulations to Kickstarter workers for securing their 4-day week! 🙌
This, in addition to winning protections against the use of AI to replace them, means these workers have successfully future-proofed their roles.
Question is: does your role need future-proofing too? 🤔

Time is the most valuable resource we have. We sell it far too cheaply.

There is a sickness crisis - but luckily, we have a proven solution.
One that:
- Reduces absences
- Improves health
- Allows more to work full time
That’s the 4-day week.
If the Government is serious about tackling the crisis, they need to get serious about the 4-day week.

“The old system isn’t working, so we need to be open to new approaches, supported by evidence and realism.”
The 4-day week isn’t just an idea for the future - it’s already delivering results today.

This is interesting!
We need more exploration of a shorter working week in education.
“Teachers reported improved wellbeing, more free time and financial savings, though some felt overwhelmed.
Meanwhile pupils were largely unaffected and some benefited.”

I have met Brighton businesses who have very successfully switched to a four-day week.
Productivity, morale, staff retention are all up.
Exciting research from Sussex University has shown it to be brain-altering! Positively changing anxiety, depression, stress and sleep quality.

At Care Full we support the four-day week for its potential benefits to unpaid carers. The government needs to catch up. The evidence points to too many positives to ignore.

Sometimes it seems like this government is actively seeking ways to be unpopular.
South Cambridgeshire’s 4-day week:
- Saves them £370,000 a year
- Improves productivity in key areas
- Boosts health and wellbeing of staff
And yet they seek to undermine it by leaking letters to the Telegraph.
