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.

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? 🤔

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.

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.”

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.

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.

Imagine if an organisation supported the Living Wage but didn’t pay it.
They’d be called hypocritical.
And rightly so.
Same goes for the 4-day week.

The Dutch have paid days off for childcare, period days as standard, and a 32-hour working week.
There’s a better way of working and the UK desperately needs to catch up.

If we want more teachers, and we want them at their best, they need a better working week, just like everybody else.
