Petition Reduce the maximum working hours so people can do a four day week

This petition asks the Government to look at the evidence and consider piloting this approach.

More details

Numerous research projects have indicated that employee well-being is improved, as is productivity and profitability. More free time means more spending in the leisure sector and less commuting which is better for our environment. We need to measure performance on output not time.

If Covid has taught us anything it’s that the old ways of working can change! Our family life, wellbeing and environment will all benefit.
