4 Day Week Global is a not-for-profit community established by Andrew Barnes and Charlotte Lockhart to provide a platform for like-minded people who are interested in supporting the idea of the 4 day week as a part of the future of work.
This community is launching projects in interested organizations globally. It encourages business, employees, researchers, and government to all play their part in creating a new way of working which will improve business productivity, worker health outcomes, stronger families and communities, challenge the gender equality issue, and work towards a more sustainable work environment.
The Europe pilot program has been launched. The pilot is a coordinated, 6-month trial in Europe of a 4 day week, with no loss in pay for employees. It runs alongside similar pilot schemes taking place in Ireland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Organizations who are interested in, considering trialing or introducing the 4 day week will have access to the expertise, tools and resources they will need to run a smooth and successful trial.
