Time is the most valuable resource we have. We sell it far too cheaply.
It’s time to change that.

A 4-day week for all would strengthen families, communities, and the economy.

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.

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.”

Pilot after pilot has shown that shorter working weeks can improve productivity, retain staff and improve people's quality of life.
Councils successfully shifting to a successful four-day work week should be celebrated, not criticised.

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.

The 5-day week was built for a world that no longer exists.
We have the technology, the data, and the evidence to work smarter, instead of longer.

Big day for the movement.
Today, for the first time, MPs, business leaders and Trade Unions (and us!) will come together to chart a path towards a shorter working week.
We’ve proved it works - now it’s time to make it happen.

@pedromaiagomespt.bsky.social and colleagues suggest a four day week could improve staff retention and absenteeism without compromising productivity or care quality. They call for a rigorous NHS evaluation
